One of the strange things that I remember 30-40 years ago in the British therapy world, was that there was a disapproval of both medication and psychoanalytic approaches in some branches. However, these disapprovals have faded considerably; nearly all schools of therapy accept the need for medication for some people, and many schools have incorporated some kinds of psychoanaytic ideas, especially the 'integrative' schools. It would be an interesting book to trace these developments, and their roots in socio-political developments; well, someone else can do that, if they haven't already. I suppose it was partly a late 60s and early 70s movement, coupled with anti-psychiatry, so a kind of rebellion, but all rebellions fade in the end.
