THANKS for this interview. Reading Whitaker's book in 2010 totally flipped my worldview. My dad taught psychology and I grew up inside the culture of conventional psychology. The success of the older and more humane approach, and the failure of the modern pharma approach, were memoryholed. Alternatives were literally unthinkable because nobody ever heard that they existed.
His 'origin story' about starting with laparoscopy and expanding into psychiatry is fascinating. Always be open to serendipity.
I was locked up and abused by shrinks for years they're 'science' is 'nonscience'better known as nosense, anti psychotics are merely major dumb down tranquilizers and anti depressants are mere placebo. The reason they sell the spiel that anti depressants take 6 weeks or so to kick in is because 6 weeks is the average time someone with low termed as 'depression whether ( clinical or not) begins to feel better https://open.substack.com/pub/callystarforth/p/the-weapon-of-psychiatry?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1eq51l
I would like to see this guest of yours talk to Jennifer Bílek. She also explains to the public trough her journalistic work how "trans" is one of the DSM diagnosis that was weaponized against people for pharmaceutical profit and has along side antidepressants been a huge influence on the health of the Americans.
Btw both anti-depressants and antibiotics massively come from Chinese production hired by American corporations.
