| Popis: |
The destruction of the theatre and the cultural therapy process by the Jamaica Labour Party government underlined the profound neo-colonial ideology of neoliberal socio-politics on mental health public policy. The very successful ten-year-old radio psychiatry program hosted by the Senior Medical Officer of the Bellevue Mental Hospital is described and it’s abrupt cessation in the same period as the destruction of the Garden Theatre is chronicled. The Authoritarian JLP Prime Minister is identified as the architect of the destruction of the Garden Theatre and for dismissal of the Radio Psychiatrist (‘Fired on the Air’) and the attempt to remove all elements of democratic socialism of the previous People’s National Party and its collaboration with Cuba’s Fidel Castro is posited as the motive for this authoritarian vandalism. |
