An interesting review of what sound like interesting books on the rights of the mentally ill. One aspect that resonated with me was this: "When we talk about 'disease,' when we talk about 'competency restoration,' those are words and phrases that are literally cloaked and saturated with a host of values that we don't really talk about," . . . "There are different ways of knowing, different ways of being. When we use terms like 'defect,' descriptors like that are naturally going to color the ways in which we make decisions about people with mental illness." It resonates with a favorite quote of mine from the days when i was a perforamnce dancer of obscure folk dances: "Those who dance are thought mad by those who hear not the music."
