    I hired John Knapp and highly recommend him. He offers a free consultation to see if it feels that the client and he will be compatible. His services are very reasonably priced, on a sliding scale. A few things I like about John’s approach:
    1 – understands everyone is an individual and not all approaches work for everyone
    2- his goal is for the client to fire him; ie: the client develops their own inner resources
    3- is careful and watchful that the client doesn’t make John their next guru

    I’ve also interacted with Marlene Winell in a support group that she facilitates. She respects where people are along the journey and has great tools to offer for self-empowerment.

    Great least you have here!

    Cheers!

Rebecca Riley’s doctor on the defense

April 26, 2010

During the past 20 years, the number of people on government disability due to “mental illness” has soared, rising from around 1.25 million people in 1987 to more than four million today. The number of children on the SSI rolls due to severe mental illness has increased more than 35-fold since 1987. Those numbers tell of an “epidemic,” and the book then asks this heretical question: Could our drug-based paradigm of care be fueling that epidemic?

April 26, 2010

By Evelyn Pringle, TruthOut.org. Posted December 14, 2009.
Psychiatric drugs are overprescribed and can even make mental symptoms worse in kids. They’re also a goldmine for drug companies.
