Guest guest Posted July 13, 2002 Report Share Posted July 13, 2002 " Year after year, CCHR has helped people everywhere take a second look at the status quo, to rethink the accepted so-called wisdom, and case by case, helped to stop the injustices done to mankind in the name of modern psychological science. " - Margaret Hagen, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology at Boston University, Author of Whores of the Court: The Fraud of Psychiatric Testimony and The Rape of American Justice THE FRAUD OF PSYCHIATRIC LABELS The harshest critics of the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) are often mental health practitioners themselves. Psychologist a Caplan, author of They Say You're Crazy, has been an outspoken critic of the DSM. Caplan's exposé of the DSM inspired journalist Walfried E. Goossen to state that " psychiatrists and their treatments are not to be trusted or respected. " www.hamiltonspectator.com - The Hamilton Spectator online: June 11, 2002 - " The powerful get to decide who's crazy " http://www.hamiltonspectator.com/goossen/579153.html PSYCHIATRIC COERCION EXPOSED CCHR co-founder and Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus, Dr. Szasz, is an internationally renowned author exposing the harm and fraud of psychiatry. His latest book, Liberation by Oppression: A Comparative Study of Slavery and Psychiatry, establishes how psychiatry's coercive practices are extending into every part of society. It is highly recommended reading. www.szasz.com - Szasz website: April 2002 - Liberation by Oppression: A Comparative Study of Slavery and Psychiatry http://www.szasz.com/lbo.html " THE RELIGION OF PSYCHIATRY " In 1879, psychologist Professor Wilhelm Wundt of Leipzig University in Germany declared that there was no soul and that man was simply a higher level animal which could be controlled using " science. " The " sciences " that have been used to control man have been psychiatry and psychology. The following article shows how psychiatry's and psychology's harmful theories and treatments have pervaded our churches and schools, and how psychiatry has utterly failed to help anyone. www.cultureshocktv.com: July 1, 2002 - " The Religion of Psychiatry " http://www.cultureshocktv.com/internews/2002/jul1200254113.html PSYCHIATRIC CRIME A woman is slowly and painfully poisoned over a period of months with drugs that replicate symptoms of a rare kind of tumor-sounds like the plot of a murder mystery movie, right? No, this is a real life crime. The convicted murderer is a New Zealand psychiatrist whose victim was his own wife. Dr. Colin Bouwer, former head of psychological medicine at Otago University, committed a crime so horrific that when a recent court of appeals heard the details of it again, they decided to extend the prison sentence. www.nzherald.co.nz - The New Zealand Herald online: June 24, 2002 - " Psychiatrist who poisoned wife gets longer sentence " http://www.nzherald.co.nz/latestnewsstory.cfm?storyID=2048371 & thesection=news & thesubsection=general & thesecondsubsection=latest FORCED PSYCHOSURGERY Under the newly-sanitized name of " neurosurgery " for mental disorders, or NMD, psychosurgery advocates in Scotland have proposed lobotomies without patient consent. However, brain specialists, and yes, even psychiatrists, have opposed this. www.sundayherald.com - The Sunday Herald, Scotland: June 16, 2002 - " Surgeons: we won't force lobotomies " http://www.sundayherald.com/25492 MEMBERSHIPS AND DONATIONS CCHR has been able to expose psychiatric abuses and crimes all over the world since it was established in 1969.
