Mad in America, by Whitaker

[Guest guest]

 

(Hi all-- Been away for a couple of months.)

 

Recently heard author Whitaker talk. Basically calls into

question the way in which psychiatric conditions are treated with

drugs. Lots of interesting data. Mostly about schizophrenia and

neuroleptics, but the general critique of the prescription process

applies more widely.

 

First, his first rate credentials--

Second- the site for his most interesting book--

(Did an email search on my archives but his name didn't

show up. So apparently he hasn't been mentioned on this

list for at least awhile.)
