The Dr. Peter Breggin Hour

The Dr. Peter Breggin Hour - 04/17/13

My guest Thomas Fewer is a New Orleans counselor who has spoken out against the diagnosing and drugging of children.  We talk about offering meaningful therapy for adults from an existential, spiritual, and depth perspective.   May other therapists be inspired to speak out and to practice according to what they know is right.

The Dr. Peter Breggin Hour - 04/10/13

Mike and Hope Bundrant represent, in my judgment, the real future of "mental health services."  Working outside the system, they focus on delivering genuine help.   A lively sharing about self-sabotage and finding the freedom to love.

BAM!  The fed's billion dollar Brain Activity Mapping project.  Neuroscience at its best? Listen to my highly informed guest Jon Rappoport as we talk about psychiatry in the service of social control.   The political left and right are turning to psychiatry as means for controlling violence.  Listen, learn and then link to my latest blog, "Never Again!" http://www.naturalnews.com/039560_psychiatry_real_history_school_shootings.html

The Dr. Peter Breggin Hour - Play Your Way - 03/14/13

My guest is Aletha Solter, PhD and her book is Attachment Play. It's so much fun, I read parts of it on the air.  Play your way to your child's heart. It works better than punishment and harsh words.

The Dr. Peter Breggin Hour - Tony's Story - 03/06/13

This is the most difficult and most heartfelt radio interview I have ever conducted. I talk with the surviving wife and the surviving mother of Tony Orban, an outstanding soldier and police officer driven to tragic violence and then to suicide by the antidepressant Zoloft (sertraline). As Tony’s medical expert I grew to know and to care about him and his family. A poignant reminder of the human cost of violence induced by psychiatric drugs.

Dr. Peter Breggin Hour - Crazy Like Us - 12/12/12

My guest Ethan Watters is the author of Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche. This is a don’t-miss show, filled with insights and new information about the invasiveness of Western psychiatric diagnoses and drugs, as well about what other cultures have to teach us. A really interesting conversation between the two of us about PTSD, ritual sexual abuse, multiple personalities, culture, human relationship, and, yes, the Psychopharmaceutical Complex.
