Show Details
Genres:
The title of this show about his presentation at the 2012 Rethinking Psychiatry symposium in Portland, "Jim Gottstein: Psych Rights Workshop" refers both to the content of Gottstein's talk and the name of the organization he co-founded that provides legal support for those diagnosed with mental illnesses. Gottstein is also a psychiatric survivor, Harvard Law School graduate, and member of the Board of Directors of the Society for Ethical Psychiatry and Psychology. Psych Rights specifically defends people facing forced psychiatric drugging and electroshock. -------------------------------- The workshop, held on the second day of the symposium, adds depth to the information we presented in "Rethinking Psychiatry 2012" a few months ago. Telling both his personal story and the ups and downs of suing and lobbying for people's rights, Gottstein talks about basic constitutional principles, the court system, pros and cons of drugs, and one of his most urgent concerns, the psychiatric drugging of children. He likens the civil rights struggle for mental health survivors to other civil rights struggles of the past.
