[Significant differentiation of the social psychiatry movement in capitalistic society. 1].

Rapid differentiations of the sociopsychiatric movement in the capitalist countries in general and in the Federal Republic of Germany in particular are closely related to different political concepts in reforming psychiatric care. One important group of psychiatrists consider the improvement in psychiatric care a major step in the direction of improving the social conditions of a capitalist system, striving to get the government's organizing help. Another group is formed by those experts who consider the abolition of repressive forms of therapy and, hence, the termination of the practice of regarding psychic disorders as medically relevant events to be prerequisite to radically improving the situation of mental patients. Essentially speculaiive interpretation results in an ideology of enlightenment that is without real consequences from a public helath and medical care point of view.

[Significant differentiation of the social-psychiatric movement in capitalistic society. II. Activist impatience - psychiatric reform as revolution].

The relations between intentions in health politics and theoretical concepts within the debate on reformation of psychiatry, which have been dealt with in part I, are continued. Two further trends are considered; the attempts linked with the social ideas of left radicals to promote the socialist revolution with a reformation of psychiatry are regarded as peculiar transient signs, without profound theoretical effects. The ideas of those psychiatrists are particularly important for future development, who plead for socially just psychiatric care understanding the latter as an aim of the struggle within the frame-work of anti-imperialist-democratic policy. In general, it is true that trends with pronounced antimedical tendency in the social psychiatric movement are of little use in the practical transformation of the psychiatric care.
