Peter Breggin, M.D. began the full time private practice of
psychiatry in 1968. Dr. Peter Breggin has been informing the
professions, media and the public about the potential dangers of
drugs, electroshock, psychosurgery, involuntary treatment, and the
biological theories of psychiatry for over three decades. Since 1964
Dr. Peter Breggin has been publishing peer-reviewed articles and
medical books in his subspecialty of clinical psychopharmacology. He
is the author of dozens of scientific articles and more than 20
professional books, many dealing with psychiatric medication, the FDA
and drug approval process, the evaluation of clinical trials, and
standards of care in psychiatry and related fields.
For thirty years Dr. Breggin has served as a medical expert in
many civil and criminal suits including individual malpractice cases
and product liability suits against the manufacturers of psychiatric
drugs. His work has provided the scientific basis for the original
combined Prozac suits, for many tardive dyskinesia cases, and for
label changes in many psychiatric drugs.
Dr. Breggin's background includes Harvard College, Case Western
Reserve Medical School, a teaching fellowship at Harvard Medical
School, a two-year staff appointment to the National Institute of
Mental Health (NIMH), and a faculty appointment to the Johns Hopkins
University Department of Counseling.
In 1972 Dr. Peter Breggin founded The International Center for
the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology (ICSPP) as a nonprofit research
and educational network. The Center is concerned with the impact of
mental health theory and practices upon individual well-being,
personal freedom, and family and community values. He also founded
the peer-review journal, Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry. In
2002, Dr. Peter Breggin and his wife Ginger selected new and younger
professionals to take over leadership of the journal and ICSPP (see
ICSPP.org).

WARNING!

When trying to withdraw from many psychiatric drugs, patients can
develop serious and even life-threatening emotional and physical
reactions. In short, it is dangerous not only to start taking
psychiatric drugs but also can be hazardous to stop taking them.
Therefore, withdrawal from psychiatric drugs should be done under
clinical supervision. Principles of psychiatric medication withdrawal
are discussed in Dr. Peter Breggin's book, Brain Disabling Treatments
in Psychiatry: Drugs, Electroshock and the Psychopharaceutical Complex
(Springer, NY, 2008).
