Basic information about Forced Drugging Defense Package
As part of the MindFreedom Shield Program, the Law Project for
Psychiatric Rights (PsychRights®) has prepared and contributed a
generic Forced Drugging Defense Package, for adaptation and use by
people facing forced drugging around the country. The Forced Drugging
Defense Package is built around the written expert testimony of Grace
E. Jackson, MD, and the award winning author of Mad in America, Robert
Whitaker, which PsychRights has successfully used to stop forced
drugging in one of its cases.
In order to use the Forced Drugging Defense Package in court, people must obtain certified copies of this testimony from MindFreedom, which should make it "admissible evidence." Only those who have a present need for this formal written testimony should ask for it, and to cover the costs involved MindFreedom does charge a nominal fee.
