The term “anti-psychiatry” was coined in 1912 by Dr. Bernhard Beyer, but only popularized by Dr. David Copper (and his critics) in the midst of a widespread cultural revolt against involuntary hospitalization and in-patient psychiatry during the 1960s and 1970s. However, with the demise of the old-fashioned mental hospital, and the rise of Big Pharma (with all its attendant evils), the term “anti-psychiatry” has outlived its usefulness. It survives merely as a term of abuse or a badge of honor, depending on the user and what rhetorical work this label is expected to perform. Those who use the term nowadays generally have a polemical axe to grind, and seldom understand the term’s origins or implications. It is time that serious scholars retire this term, or to restrict its use to R.D.Laing’s followers in the Philadelphia Associates and kindred groups that sprang up in the late 1960s and 1970s.

This article explores the motif of mental illness/madness present in the Polish culture of the 1970s. The most important relevant research papers and concepts from that period are discussed, with particular emphasis on the works by Antoni Kępiński. His reflections are juxtaposed with the views represented by a circle of researchers gathered around Maria Janion’s series of Gdańsk seminars called Transgresje [Transgressions]. The fundamental question asked in the article is why Kępiński’s concepts were only briefly presented at the Gdańsk seminars and discussed in Janion’s texts. Trying to find the possible reasons, the author compares the assumptions of humanistic psychiatry (practised by Kępiński) with the socalled anti-psychiatry (represented in particular by Ronald D. Laing), and analyses the former’s views on homosexuality.
