Dr. and Mrs. Breggin detail their findings in The War Against Children of Color,
the definitive work exposing how mental health agencies and the government are using invalid science for social control rather than addressing the decline of families, schools and communities or the escalation of racism and poverty.
 
 
 
 
Under special topics, the section on Racism and Social Control contains a detailed description of Dr. & Mrs. Breggin's efforts to stop racist programs in psychiatry.

WARNING!

Most psychiatric drugs can cause withdrawal reactions, sometimes including life-threatening emotional and physical withdrawal problems. In short, it is not only dangerous to start taking psychiatric drugs, it can also be dangerous to stop them. Withdrawal from psychiatric drugs should be done carefully under experienced clinical supervision. Methods for safely withdrawing from psychiatric drugs are discussed in Dr. Breggin's new book, Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal: A Guide for Prescribers, Therapists, Patients, and Their Families.
