The Hidden Horrors of Psychiatry: Infiltrating the School System, Businesses and Your Home (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789082177268)

The Hidden Horrors of Psychiatry addresses several significant and shocking issues related to psychiatry that have been rarely exposed or are altogether unknown. Everyone involved with mental health care-and especially caregivers such as physicians, psychologists, nurses, social workers, as well as psychiatrists themselves-should be well aware of these issues. And, because of their far-reaching impact, public representatives, legislators, judges, forensic doctors, lawyers, members of police forces, and employers should also be familiar with this data. With a chapter dedicated to the current education crisis and increasing illiteracy rates, this reference work is indispensable for remedial educators, teachers and parents.

Although The Hidden Horrors of Psychiatry focuses on ADHD and shows how arbitrary diagnoses are used to medicalize child behavior, it goes far beyond ADHD. Indeed, it pertains to any mental health issue. The general pattern of medicalizing, diagnosing, and drugging or otherwise treating is very similar to the treatment of ADHD.

The well-documented and sometimes horrifying data presented in this book shed new light on medicine and psychiatry, their alliance with the pharmaceutical industry, and the scientific underpinnings of psychiatric diagnoses and potentially very dangerous psychiatric treatments.

These facts show that the hidden horrors of psychiatry can affect you too, professionally or privately, and perhaps sooner than you might think.

The Hidden Horrors of Psychiatry also covers the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This UN human rights treaty may well mean the end of psychiatry as we know it today.
