Background
In 1968, he was elected to lead the parents' action against the closure of Holtane school in Kragerø , where his youngest daughter was to start. He claimed that the closure was against the law, acquired a typewriter and sent the newspapers many readers' letters .
Three years after the parental action, a conflict with his wife, Dagmar Juklerød (née Haugholt) (1925–1998), ended with him being forcibly admitted to psychiatry on 22 November 1971. He was diagnosed with " Paranoia 297.0 religious querulous type", and was forcibly medicated with the drugs Trilafon and Akineton and Peragit . With this, he began a battle against psychiatry , which cost him both his job, property and family life.
On 11 August 1995, Arnold Juklerød received an unreserved admission from the Ministry of Church, Education and Research that his " delusions " in the Holtane case had been correct. [3]
When Juklerød was discharged in 1985, he did not want to leave the hospital area, because he could not remove the diagnosis of " incurable and seriously mentally ill ".
Until his death, he stayed on the hospital grounds in tents and barracks , as a protest against Norwegian psychiatry .
The Juklerød case's aftermath
"Asymptomatic Insanity" (1988)
It is claimed that Juklerød was healthy before the forced hospitalization. A commission set up in 1988 claimed that at worst he suffered from an "asymptomatic insanity ".
Behavioral therapist Arild Karlsen commented on the diagnosis as follows: "On 20 June 1988, a forensic psychiatric statement appeared in the Oslo Court of Inquiry. It was signed by psychiatrist and police doctor Karl-Ewert Hornemann and psychiatrist and senior doctor Njål Madland . The third psychiatrist who took payment for taking part in the judicial observation, senior doctor Harald Ø. Reppesgaard , never got the declaration signed." [4]
Demand for new commission of inquiry (1996)
On 7 September 1995 , lawyer Knut Rognlien wrote in a press release:
Laquote.svgIn a letter of 11 August 1995 from the Ministry of Church Affairs and Education and Research(KUF) to Arnold Juklerød, it is admitted that the school authorities acted contrary to the Folkeskole Act when the Holtane school district in Kragerø was decided to be closed down in 1962/68. ... In his capacity as chairman of the Action Committee against the closure of Holtane School, Arnold Juklerød pointed out the aforementioned conditions as early as 1968. ... Precisely these claims were cited as evidence that he suffered from "incorrigible paranoid delusions" when he became forcibly hospitalized. ... The person who protested and adhered to the law was not taken seriously, but defined as a psychiatric case. This reinforces the suspicion that psychiatry in Norway has also been used on a political basis towards oppositionists and those who think differently. The ministry's new review of the case makes it necessary to put forward demands for public scrutiny...[5] Raquote.svg
In 1996, Erling Folkvord proposed a commission of inquiry into the Juklerød case
On 14 March 1996, Erling Folkvord from Rød Valgallianse submitted a document-8 proposal to the Storting to appoint a new commission of inquiry into the Juklerød case. [6] In the recommendation from the Storting's justice committee of 9 May 1996, Inst.S. 186 (1995–96) , the preamble states:
Laquote.svgThe Storting asks the Government to appoint a commission of inquiry to review all aspects of the Juklerød case and the starting point of this case in the Holtane case. It is necessary for the commission to have the widest possible composition so that both the legal, the human rights and the psychiatric conditions are illuminated. [7]Raquote.svg
92 of the Storting's 165 representatives voted on the proposal on 31 May 1996. The proposal was voted down by 86 to six votes. [8] [9]
Those who voted for an investigation, apart from Erling Folkvord, were Børre Rønningen ( SV ), Ola D. Gløtvold ( Sp ), John Dale ( Sp ), Kjell Engebretsen ( AP ) and Trond Mathisen ( AP ).
The mayor was Jan Simonsen from the Progress Party . The majority's reason for voting down the proposal was, according to Simonsen, that in 1995 there were 725 applications for compensation from people who "feel unfairly treated by the public authorities" , and that they could not "pick out a single case about a single individual". . [8]
Juklerød's journal is published (2002)
On 28 February 2002, a critic of Norwegian psychiatry was reported to the police by the head of the Norwegian Data Protection Authority, Georg Apenes , for posting Juklerød's patient record on the internet at the deceased's own request. [10] The journal was published on 25 January 2002, on the 6th anniversary of Juklerød's death, and led to a police raid and seizure of computer equipment. [11] [12]
On 8 November 2005, a bust of Juklerød was erected at Gaustad Hospital . [13]
