title: Bad Care
---
![](static/topic/commoningcare/radicalredistribution/a_disroot_homepage_on_weekends.png)
The purpose of this session is to examine the relationships between power and care. A first and obvious dynamic in this relationship is negligence. The study quoted in the readings, on oppression, environmental stress and the long term effects of these on the brain and body shows how western science and research into 'global health' has negelected to look at the interelations between social, physical and mental health. As pirates, we can take this critique much further by insisting that industrial society is profoundly sick and proceed from that premise.
The essay 'Unraveling the Biopsychiatric Knot' focusses specifically on the relationship between neoliberalism and the biomedical/psychiatric approach to 'mental disorders' as codified in diagnostic manuals like the DSM. Again, we might want to go further than this acount and question the social 'safety nets' that neoliberalism has supposedly taken away. What were these 'safety nets', who were they for and who did they exclude? Who benefited and who paid for them? Who administrated them and to what end?
