Kate Millett (born 14 September 1934) is one of the world’s leading feminists. She is a social historian, author and sculptor. Her books, on a wide range of subjects, include Sexual Politics (1970), The Prostitution Papers (1973), Flying (1974), Sita (1977), The Basement (1979), Going to Iran (1979), Believe me, you don't want a picture of that! (1991), The Politics of Cruelty (1994), A.D.: A Memoir (1995), and Mother Millett (2002). In The Loony Bin Trip (1990) she describes her psychiatric incarceration as a ‘mental patient’ in the USA and Ireland. She went to court to obtain her release in the USA, and succeeded in changing the State of Minnesota’s commitment law. She has continued to expose and oppose psychiatric coercion and torture. In today’s seminar Kate Millett will describe her experiences of psychiatry, and will help us make intelligible the interpersonal and social interactions which led to her being locked up. Your contribution to the discussion will be welcome.

The Inner Circle Seminars were founded by Anthony Stadlen in 1996 as an ethical, existential, phenomenological search for truth in psychotherapy. They have been kindly described by Thomas Szasz as ‘Institute for Advanced Studies in the Moral Foundations of Human Decency and Helpfulness’. But they are independent of all institutes, schools and colleges.
