In his thought provoking post, “10 Ways Mental Health Professionals Increase Misery in Suffering People Bruce Levin quoted Martin Luther King who asserted in a 1962 speech that:
“Modern psychology has a word that is probably used more than any other word in modern psychology. It is the word “maladjusted”. . . There are certain things in our nation and in the world which I am proud to be maladjusted. . . I never intend to adjust myself to economic conditions that will take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few. I never intend to adjust myself to the madness of militarism, to self-defeating effects of physical violence… I’m about convinced now that there is need for a new organization in our world: The International Association for the Advancement of Creative Maladjustment.”
Approximately half a century later, maybe it’s time we finally created that association.
