Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This chapter examines the relationship between left-wing activists who identified as having experienced psychiatric treatment and those who did not. The focus is on how political activism was defined and legitimated among politically engaged groups during this period. From the 1970s with the formation of ex-psychiatric patients’ groups, or the ‘mad movement’, in the Canadian province of Ontario, efforts were made to develop political alliances between mad activists and a diverse array of leftists, usually at the instigation of the former. This chapter analyses late twentieth-century mad activism as being more complex than anti-psychiatry versus psychiatry, by examining current and former patients’ community political activities and how and why they sought alliances with other activists during the deinstitutionalization era.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
