Bring Out the Best In Yourself!
2011 Empathic Therapy Conference was a huge success!
Ringing endorsements are pouring in--here are three of the first received:
"Great conference, and wonderful to be surrounded by hundreds of people--psychiatrists, neurologists, family doctors, psychologists, social workers, recovered consumers, family advocates--from all over the country who see the falseness and harm of the biopsychiatric model. For once, I felt like I wasn't stranded on an island by myself." Mark Foster, D.O. from his blog on "Mad in America."
"The planning, execution, and oversight was flawless! I wasn't bored once. It was so good to be with people -- really smart people, that I felt so much respect for, who approach troubled people and their issues with a similar philosophy and understanding. The most important benefit in the long run: I don't feel so all alone!" John Snyder, EdD, psychotherapist and author of Flying Lessons.
"It is Tuesday, 2 days post conference, and my head is just beginning to wind down. The talent and collective wisdom that gathered on that early spring weekend in Syracuse surpassed everyone's conscious or unconscious expectations. Peter's leadership and Ginger's guidance produced a professional experience that will be studied well into the future as a standard by which learning as a group will be measured." Richard F. Gottlieb, MSW, psychotherapist.
"Truly one of the most enlightening conferences I have attended." Dewey Meyers, MD

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 books, Brain-Disabling Treatments in Psychiatry: Drugs, Electroshock and the Psychopharmaceutical Complex (New York: Springer Publishing Company, 2008) and Medication Madness: The Role of Psychiatric Drugs in Cases of Violence, Suicide and Crime (New York: St. Martin's Press, 2008).
