The Therapeutic Village:
A Story of Political Violence Against The Constitution and Rule of Law

By Patrick B. Kavanaugh, Ph.D.

The Therapeutic Village…traces the roots of the progressive movement to the early progressive reformers of the late 1800s, their exploitation of 19thcentury concepts and philosophies, and how their counter vision to the Constitution has influenced and shaped our political and social institutions. This is a story of the progressives’ revolutionary movement and their quest for absolute power and supervisory control over the American people and society: how they seized it, institutionalized it, and use it outside constitutional constraints. Legitimized by psychiatric liberalism and authorized by administrative law, their vast powers are exercised through the courts, congress, and streets under the mask of empathy, compassion, and caring for the “oppressed” members of society. In a free, open, and democratic society, the invisibility of such exercises of power is what makes the progressives and their preferred model of government –the administrative state, so very, very dangerous. And the corollary is equally true: making their ideology, purpose, and power tactics more visible unmasks the masquerade, exposes its dangers to individual freedom, rights, and sovereignty, and more clearly identifies that which needs to be reined in, rectified, or removed from our political and social institutions.
   As opposed to a theoretical, academic, or pseudo-scientific analysis of government’s powerand its relationship to freedom, the focus of this book is on the largely hidden and obscure -yet specific and concrete, structures, processes, and power tactics by which progressives have seized and exercise power over the American people from their administrative state and its unbridled exercises of power to their therapeutic speech codes and silencing of free speech.
   Knowing and understanding how we got to where we currently are as a nation is essential to successfully engage in the political struggle ahead to reclaim the Constitution and restore the rule of law. Such a project, however, requires the freedom to think, speak, and openly question –if not critique and interrogate, the progressives’ political-religious movement without fear of retaliation or reprisal for doing so –or in spite of such fear, if necessary.
