I don't think she means ill. I do think she did a lot of harm in her tenure and that TAC will continue to do harm by making people more afraid of people with psychiatric labels . I do not think Torrey is a lunatic, I think he is mean and doesn't care how he affects others. Mary Z. was/is not mean and does care but allowed herself to be convinced that promoting fear of people with mental illness was a moral tactic to get the ends she desired. I am not aware of anything that TAC promotes that is a good idea but maybe I've missed something. There was a time many years ago when they were asking about quality of psychiatric care, but that seems to have disappeared from the agenda.
