The igniting influences for this configuration of groups and theories were Michel Foucault, R.D. Laing and Thomas Szasz. The term anti-psychiatry was first used by the South African psychiatrist David Cooper in 1967 (although some groups and individuals now prefer the term "critical psychiatry" to avoid connoting a merely oppositional stance).
