psychiatric drugging against people diagnosed with mental illness, the Law

Project for Psychiatric Rights, PsychRights®, is pleased to announce the

appointment of Bruce Whittington as its Executive Director.

PsychRights is a 501©(3) non-governmental organization formed to undertake

As of December 15, 2006, Bruce Whittington has taken responsibility for

organizing and directing the work of PsychRights in mounting its campaign of

strategic litigation, working with other groups and individuals in

establishing a nation-wide network of resources, and developing a strategy

for sustainable funding.

Jim Gottstein, President and CEO of PsychRights, said: " Bruce's role is key

to taking our campaign to a new level of activity and giving PsychRights the

national scope we need. His appointment is a huge step for our legal

campaign, dramatically improving our ability to work with others in

promoting psychiatric rights and ending the horror of court-ordered

psychiatric drugging. "

Bruce has extensive experience as an activist promoting the rights of people

labeled mentally ill. He has a solid background in human rights promotion,

having worked as a consultant to government agencies and NGOs, and as the

Yukon Territory’s human rights officer.
