“..Instead of the *degradation* ceremonial of psychiatric examination, diagnosis and prognostication, we need, for those who are ready for it (in psych- iatric terminology often those who are about to go into a schizophrenic break- down), an *initiation* ceremonial, through which the person will be guided with full social encouragement and sanction
into inner space and time, by people
who have been there and back again. Psychiatrically, this would appear as ex-patients helping future patients
to go mad."
