News Item Dispute Goes Public: International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology (ICSPP)
Update: For years, ICSPP has been one of the main networking organizations for dissident psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health professionals, allies and others to question mental health system. ICSPP is a sponsor group in MFI. Psychiatrist Peter Breggin founded ICSPP. In 2002, Dr. Breggin announced he was turning over stewardship of ICSPP to new leadership. However, apparently Dr. Breggin disagreed with a decision by the ICSPP board of directors. In April 2010 he suddenly redirected the ICSPP web site to a new, personal effort of his own. The ICSPP board of directors has issued the below public statement in response. [Updated 15 June 2010]

Adam Voss, psychiatric survivor

After being repeatedly placed in psychiatric institutions, Adam Voss remembered hearing about MindFreedom and decided to hop on a bus to join up. Three and a half days later, traveling the whole length of the USA, Adam arrived in July 2009 at the MindFreedom office in Eugene, where he was warmly welcomed. Adam’s experience with psychiatric coercion began in 2008 when he decided to dance outside the city hall in Lindsay, Ontario, Canada. Forcibly taken by police to a psychiatric ward, Adam endured forced psychiatric drugging with neuroleptic or "antipsychotic" drugs, an experience repeated three more times. Having read about the MFI Shield program Adam said, "I realized that by traveling to MindFreedom headquarters I would find the peer support and protection I couldn’t find in the mental health system or even within my own family."
