The self-designated (and questionably named) "National Alliance for the Mentally Ill" energetically lobbies to further strip away the rights, options, and alternatives of the c/s/x. Unyielding in its opposition to the right of self-determination, NAMI's heavy-handed, smothering, paternalistic, "we-know-best" approach works hand-in-hand with the psychiatric establishment to promote force, threatment, and biolence-- all, of course, for the greater good. Recognized by the c/s/x movement as a negative and destructive element, made all the more so by its claim to work in the interests of the c/s/x.
