Psychiatry Now Admits It's Been Wrong In Big Ways - But Can It Change?
truthout / Bruce Levine / March 5 2014
Robert Whitaker: [...] "But in terms of accomplishing my mission, well, I guess my "mission" would be to see that our society would actually build a system of care that was truly science-based, particularly in its use of psychiatric drugs. I think this is such an important story for our society and one of extraordinary moral importance when it comes to medicating children and adolescents, none of whom could be said to have really "consented" to such treatment. I turned madinamerica.com into a webzine with the hope that by providing a forum for a community of writers interested in "rethinking psychiatry" and combining their voices with reports of research that provide a foundation for such rethinking, it could become a real force for change. We'll see if that happens, but our readership is steadily increasing."

"Integrative psychiatry is an approach to mental healthcare that embraces both conventional and complementary medicine. We believe that this approach allows for a greater focus on the whole person – mind, body and spirit as a means to empower individuals with regard to their own health and enhance the physician-patient relationship."
