Psycho"therapy" without Drugs or any Reference to Medical Terminology
Dr Jeanne Stolzer will discuss the growing mountain of evidence that psychiatric drugs are potentially dangerous to health, are addictive, often worsening the emotional difficulties for which\xa0they are prescribed, and which are implicated in acts of violence toward self and others\xa0including\xa0a number of the school shootings that have so horrified our society. We will discuss the politics inherent in convincing our society that problems in living and emotional distress\xa0are the result of undiagnosable and possibly\xa0fictitious\xa0brain diseases that condemn millions to a life on drugs and limited aspirations. Finally, we will discuss the role professionals might play in helping people who suffer emotional distress without any reference to any medical terminlology unless those terms are used metaphorically.
