Stress and alienation/isolation have been directly implicated in depression, anxiety disorders, and addiction. Perhaps these sometimes result from what might be described as coercion, but I think that to characterize, for example, the problem of parents who physically abuse their children as one of coercion misses the point. Coercion is a catch all, and in many cases coercion does not result in stress, trauma, etc. That and holy shit, when did basing arguments on the notion of the noble savage come back in style?
