Summary

Summary

A psychiatrist's devastating critique of how the new psychiatry is damaging millions of people. Biopsychiatry, says Dr. Breggin, is the dominant ideology of the medical-pharmaceutical establishment which frequently announces breakthroughs in brain chemistry to justify the use of drugs, electroshock, involuntary hospitalization, and other harsh treatments.
