Zeke, thanks for the info.
As for Breggin, I have heard him speak as a participant in conferences offering voice to a number of perspectives.
I just received a brochure for a conference that I would like to go to (the Family Therapy Networker). It is usually a great conference, and they offer a lot of good workshops. But I was dismayed to see that Breggin is one of the presenters, and that there is another presenter who has a similar anti-psychiatry approach, but there are no pro-psychopharmocology presentations. I am inclined to write them a letter of complaint, because it worries me that all these mental health practicioners are there to learn how to help clients, and they are offered two possible workshops on pharmocology that are ANTI pharmocology, and there are no opportunities to learn how medication can help their clients. It seems irresponsible, if you ask me. I don't know if I will muster up the energy to write such a letter.
