Peter Breggin has written the definitive text for professionals and the public alike who really want to know the hazards, inadequacies and illusions of psychopharmacologyThis book will be a foundation for those who specialize in medication-free treatment. -Kevin F. McCready, PhD Clinical Director, San Joaquin Psychotherapy Center ""This book proves once again that Peter Breggin truly is the 'conscience of American psychiatry.' Breggin shows that the brain-disabling hypothesis of organic psychiatric treatments is overwhelmingly confirmed by clinical experience and the scientific literature. With astounding numbers of elderly, adults, and children on prescribed psychoactive drugs, Brain-Disabling Treatments in Psychiatry should be required reading for all medical interns, practicing physicians, and mental health professionals."" -David Cohen, PhD Professor of Social Services, University of Montreal
