Sammanfattning
The main epistemological tension in the history of psychiatry is been between object- and
subject-ontological perspectives; in practice whether focus should be on the disease or on the
suffering person as subject. The Escalation Plan for Mental Health emphasized the latter, but
objectifying is still alive. The article puts forward the idea that the risk of inhumanity in treatment is
greatest when the concept of knowledge contributes to the objectification of patients. Both modern
governing, rebiologization, medicalization and modern diagnoses can contribute to this.
