My parents had Copaganda The Show on in the room, and a Chinese character talked about how her parents were doctors during the cultural revolution, but were accused of using bourgeois science and were sentenced to reeducation. I don't know enough about the cultural revolution to know anything about that, so I googled. Naturally I found myself on Wikipedia (blech) where they talked about a variety of "bourgeois pseudoscience" ranging from phrenology and eugenics to psychology and sociology. These latter two were specific to the PRC. Of course I know better than to automatically believe NATOpedia, especially on topics like these, but I don't know any better places to look for accurate information, particularly in English. So I have a few questions.
-
Where can I go to find these answers? I am aware of ProleWiki, but a lot of the pages I've seen have been more summary and less in-depth talks about these things.
-
Is psychology and potentially psychiatry still considered bourgeois science? I have a variety of psychiatric disorders, and I would be upset if my communist utopia did not see fit to help me deal with them. I have heard of anti-psychiatry, and some random dude claiming it is popular on the left? Not jumping to believe them, but instead asking people who have a better chance of actually knowing.
-
Is there any truth that the PRC did take these actions? Do they still? If I were to move to China, would I be unable to get psychiatric meds?
I'm not going to comment on a fictional family's fictional experiences as described on a Western TV show, but as for:
Regardless how they were viewed in the past, they certainly don't seem to be viewed that way today considering that you can get a degree in these fields from most Chinese universities:

This is a completely different question, and the answer to that is: maybe. It depends on the specific meds that you need. If you currently live in the US then it's not even guaranteed that you will find your exact same meds even in Europe, because different countries have different laws about what kind of drugs they allow on their market.
Some that are prescription free in one country may not be in another. Also, sometimes certain drugs are legal but just not made/sold in those countries so you would either have to import them yourself, or you would have buy a local alternative that is effectively identical but is just sold under a different brand name.
In the case of China this is something that you will have to research beforehand on a case by case basis. But i'm guessing that you can find an equivalent for most things, maybe with a few exceptions since China has stricter drug laws than the US (you probably won't get opiates very easily for instance).
Edit: About psychology/psychiatry during the period of the Cultural Revolution, this is not a subject i know much - if anything - about, but a cursory search online shows that articles and books were being written about the psychiatric practices in China at the time as well as in the decade immediately afterward:
https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2013-41581-006
https://psychiatryonline.org/doi/abs/10.1176/ajp.130.10.1082
https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1130282271175962112
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.3109/00048678009159351
So it would seem that at the very least we can say that the discipline was still active during that period, though perhaps it was practiced differently than today, and differently than it would have been at the time in western countries, as the Chinese were experimenting with more social approaches of solving psychiatric and psychological problems rather than purely clinical and individualistic ones. Whether this has merit or not, i don't know, i'm not a psychiatrist.
