Steiner argues that psychiatry could no longer be viewed as an "art of soul healing" because of its enmeshment with the racist medical establishment. In contrast, Steiner frames radical psychiatry as community control of soul healing. Steiner supports this framing with the goals of Radical Psychiatry being to demystify the enmeshment between establishment psychiatry and medical racism and to show that the scarcity of psychiatric resources is artificially generated by making psychiatric skills available to the populous. Steiner believed that by making psychiatric skills publicly available it would be possible for people to heal each other. The rhetoric here of "community control" and "body and soul" mimic the BPP's position of advocating for community control of medical, educational, and law enforcement institutions in order serve people "body and soul" by providing tools that individuals can use to improve and uplift there own communities.
