unsuspected groups are actively and deceptivelyfostering racism throughout the world. Thelegacy of these groups includes such large-scaletragedies as the Nazi Holocaust, South Africasapartheid and today, the widespread disablingof millions of schoolchildren with harmful,addictive drugs. These groups are psychiatryand psychology.

In 1983, a World Health Organization reportstated, in no other medical field in SouthAfrica is the contempt of the person, cultivated by racism, more concisely portrayed than inpsychiatry.4

Professor of Community Psychiatry, Dr. S.P.Sashidharan, stated, Psychiatry comes closestto the police in pursuing practices and pro-cedures that discriminate against minorityethnic groups in the United Kingdom.5

Dr. Karen Wren and Professor Paul Boyleof the University of St. Andrews, Scotland,concluded that the role of scientific racism in

psychiatry throughout Europe is well establishedhistorically and continues today.6

Since 1969, CCHR has worked in the fieldof human rights and mental health reform,and has investigated the racist influence ofthe mental health professions on the NaziHolocaust, apartheid, the cultural assault ofthe Australian Aboriginal people, New ZealandMaoris and Native American Indians, and thecurrent discrimination against Blacks acrossthe world.

Psychiatry and psychologys racist ideolo-

gies continue to light the fires of racism locallyand internationally to this day.

For over 200 years racist theoriessuch as those promoted by psychiatrist

Benjamin Rush and psychologist FrancisGalton (top right) have been used

to justify discrimination.

For centuries, psychiatry and

psychology have provided the

scientific justification for racism.

The emergence of racism was

certain to happen considering thebasic philosophies that govern the

psychiatric and psychological

professions. The first is the

survival of the fittest principle,

which underlies the psychiatric

eugenics (racial improvement)

movement; the other is the

psychiatric idea that man is merely

an animal. Together they form a

mentality that breeds anti-social

theories and attitudes, including

racist ones.

In 1883, British psychologist

Francis Galton created the term

eugenics, from the Greek word

eugenes, meaning good stock,

and defined certain racial groups

as inferior.

Through their history of invented

racial diseases, psychiatry and

psychology have not only

legitimized modern racism, but

also provided the justificationfor outright genocide.

The History ofScientific Racism

CHAPTER ONE

hipping the devil out of them,was the recommended treat-ment for a mental disordercalled drapetomania [fromdrapetes, a runaway slave and

mania, meaning crazy], which meant a slave hadthe unnatural urge to run away. It was discov-ered in Louisiana in 1851.

The statements in this chapter are shocking, but they illustrate the development of an out-rageous theory that isnow taken as fact.

For centuries, psy-chiatry and psychol-ogy have providedthe scientific justifi-cation for racism andthe resultant abuse,assault and genocideof targeted races andgroups.

In 1883, FrancisGalton, an Englishpsychologist, inventedthe term eugenics(eugenes, meaning good stock). He encour-aged using better human stock from whichto breed, and discouraged what he consideredless desirable stock from having children, evi-dently considering himself part of the betterstock and thereby capable of judging the futurefor all humanity.

Galton considered Africans inferior. After

spending two years in Africa, he wrote a bookentitled Tropical South Africa, stating: These

savages court [ask for] slavery. They have noindependence about them, generally speaking,

but follow a master as a spaniel would. He leftno doubt about his beliefs when he said, Theaverage intellectual standard of the Negro issome two grades below our own.7

Humans, Galton determined, were decid-edly unequal. Ideas that men were of equal

value, he said, were simply undeniably wrongand cannot last. Any charity to the poor and

ill, he wrote, should be conditional upontheir agreeing toabstain from produc-ing offspring.8

Galtons well-known half-cousinCharles Darwin, alsoa psychologist, pro-moted this too: Noone who has attend-

ed the breeding ofdomestic animals willdoubt that this must

be highly injurious tothe race of man hardly anyone is so ignorantas to allow his worst animals to breed.9

Nazi psychiatrists and Americas mentalhealth movement would later adopt these ideas

just as readily, but they were initially used to justifyslavery and then to control immigration. In accor-dance with eugenics theory, Immigrants fromItaly, Greece, Hungary, and other southeastern

countries were seen as not making the grade, because they carried a germ that made them

In 1879, German psychologist WilhelmWundt of Leipzig University provided the ulti-mate proof for eugenics and racism, by arro-gantly declaring that as mans soul could not bemeasured with scientific instruments, it did notexist. With this, man suddenly became merelyanother animal. In other words, stripped of hissoul by Wundt, man could be manipulated aseasily as a dog could be trained to salivate at thesound of a bell.

In 1895, Alfred Ploetz, a Swiss-Germaneugenicist, published his race inferiority theo-ries in the book The Fitness of Our Race and the

Protection of the Weak. Calling his philosophyRassenhygiene [racial hygiene], Ploetz openlydiscouraged medical care for the weak.17 Inlater years, Hitler and his Nazi regime would usethis to decide exactly who the weak were and

what to do about them. Ploetz and his colleagueswould be credited with providing the founda-tions of the Nazi racial state.18

But Ploetz helped create much more than the

Nazi regime and the Holocaust. His work laidthe foundation for eugenics and racial suppres-sion in countries around the world, includingAustralia, Canada, England, South Africa and theUnited States. The following is a small sample ofthe disastrous effects of his work psychologicaland psychiatric statements from the late 1800s toearly 1900s:

z From the eugenic standpoint, suchintermarriages [between White and Black] arenot to be commended. The colored race has notthe energy nor the persistence of the white.19

z The Negro child is intellectually preco-

cious [developing too early] up to puberty whena radical change takes place: his developmentstops suddenly or even slightly retrogresses education does not reach the deepest layer ofhis soul.20

z In 1918, American eugenics advocate PaulPopenoe claimed that the IQ of Blacks was deter-mined by the amount of white blood in them: thelighter skinned the Black the higher their IQ, and

the blacker he was, the lower the IQ.21

zJ.T. Dunston, a British psychiatrist and SouthAfricas Commissionerof Mental Hygiene, in1923, claimed, Thereare, however groundswhich suggest that thenative, even of the besttribes, possibly belongsto a race which is men-tally inferior to ours.His proof? Natives areoriented in time in the

vaguest way, and gen-erally have little ideaof how old they are, orof the passage oftime. Even their danc-ing, of which they arevery fond, presents nodelicate motions animportant psychologi-cal point which should

be carefully studied.22

In Australia, geno-cide was practiced alittle differently. Mixedrace children (usuallyof an aboriginal motherand a white father) weretaken from their mothers,placed on governmentreserves in the care ofWhites, and denied education about their ancestryand culture. The 1921 Report of the AboriginesState Board stated, The continuation of this policymust eventually solve the Aboriginal problem.23 Itwas racial genocide, an attempt to breed out the

Aboriginal race.The segregation and abuse of the Aborigine

people was justified because they were as yetincapable of self-control, innocent of the know-ledge of good and evil, therefore requiringprotection.24 Just as runaway slaves were cured

in America, Aborigines were treated like naughtychildren, by whipping them.In an Australian

inquiry into the effectsof this program, onevictim testified: Wewere told that ourmother was an alco-holic and that she wasa prostitute and shedidnt care about us.They used to warn usthat when we got older

wed have to watch itbecause wed turn intosluts and alcoholics, sowe had to be very care-ful. If you were whiteyou didnt have thatdirtiness in you Itwas in our breed, in usto be like that.25

Native peoples inAmerica and Canada,the New ZealandMaori, and other non-white populations weretreated as similarly infe-rior. Francis Pal Pruchawrote in The GreatFather, Indian childrenwere taken from homes

judged unsuitable orharmful to them by the Bureau of Indian Affairs orstate social workers and placed in foster or adop-tive homes, usually non-Indian ... eventually [it]was perceived more accurately as a force destruc-tive of Indian families and Indian children.

SCIENCE OF BIGOTRY

I

ntelligence testing in the hands of psy-

chiatrists and psychologists became another

means to forward racist views of man.

z Eugenicist Paul Popenoe and psychologistLewis Terman used biased IQ tests to belittle

non-white races. Popenoe claimed, The IQ of

Blacks is determined by the amount of white

blood in them and Terman asserted non-

whites could never be educated.

z In Australia, removing children

from Aborigine mothers and other abuses

were justified because Aborigine people were

incapable of self-control, innocent of the

knowledge of good and evil.

parents 30 years previously: I was told thatwhat I came from was horrible, savage, paganand that I was so lucky to be taken away fromall of that. When I became a teenager and went

through normal teenage difficulties, my mothertold me, Dont grow up to be a good-for-noth-ing Indian.26

Intelligence tests were another means topromote and preserve racist theories.

In the 1950s, psychologist Lewis Terman, anexpert in IQ testing, claimed that poor chil-dren could never be educated, and that Mexicans,Indians and Blacks should never be allowed tohave children. Such tests were used to stop Italians,Poles, Mexicans and others from moving to theUnited States and tainting American blood.27

Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned

Parenthood of America and a eugenicist, contribut-ed an equally repulsive plan. Her cure for racialinferiority was sterilization. Sanger planned toexterminate the Negro population by inducingseveral black ministers with engaging personali-ties, to preach that sterilization was a solution topoverty. She stated that reaching Blacks througha religious appeal, would be the most successfuleducational approach.28

Charles Murray and Richard Herrnsteinsbook, The Bell Curve, arrogantly claims thatAfrican-Americans and Hispanics that do worsethan Whites in intelligence tests, are geneticallydisabled and therefore cannot cope with thedemands of modern society.29

In an argument similar to those made by earlyadvocates of racial purity, Herrnstein, a psy-chologist, claimed that Americans were becomingmore stupid with each generation, and advocatedselective breeding to prevent human residuefrom coming into existence.30

Through their history of invented racial dis-eases, arbitrary judgments on better stock and

bogus scientific claims like lower IQ and racialinferiority, psychiatry and psychology have not

only legitimized racism, but also provided thereason for outright genocide.

The Roots of ModernGenocide

CHAPTER TWO

ong before World War II, German psy-chiatrists had devised the scientific

justification for euthanasia (mercy kill-ing) based on racial inferiority.

Following the 1895 publi-cation of his theories on eugenics, which hepreferred to call racial hygiene, eugenicistAlfred Ploetz, together with psychiatrist Ernst

Rdin, founded the German Society for RacialHygiene in 1905. They promoted the idea thatdestroying the unworthy was purely ahealing treatment.

In 1911 22 years before the Nazi partycame to power Rdin had already preachedthat All nations have to haul around with theman extraordinarily large number of inferiors,weaklings, sickly and cripples. Through a wiselegislation [sterilization] along this line ... wewould also be able to pursue rationally the bestavenues for breeding.31

In 1920, eugenicist Alfred Hoche and KarlBinding, a lawyer who became Chief Justice ofthe Nazi Reich, published the book, Permissionto Destroy Life Unworthy of Life, in which theydemanded euthanasia be conducted on mentaldefectives and stated, Their death will not be missed in the least except maybe in thehearts of their mother or guardian. Hoche alsoclaimed killing a dying individual with amedical drug was not murder but a pureact of healing.32

German psychiatrist Eugen Fischer, co-authorof The Principles of Human Heredity and Racial

Hygiene (1921), also urged the annihilation ofNegro children, theorizing that Blacks were

devoid of value and useless for employmentother than for manual crafts.

Fischer wrote, He [the Negro] is not particu-larly intelligent in the proper sense of the term,and above all he is devoid of the power of mentalcreation, is poor in imagination, so that he has notdeveloped any original art and has no elaboratefolk sagas or folk myths. He is, however, clever

with his hands so that he can easily be trainedin the manual crafts.33

In 1939, Fischer lectured students saying, I do not characterize every Jew as inferior, asNegroes are.34

Rdin was the primary supporter of Ger-manys Sterilization Act of 1933, which includedthe sterilization of all Jews and colored chil-dren.35 The law led to more than 350,000 unfitGermans being sterilized.

The first psychiatric killing test (gassingexperiment) was conducted at Brandenburginstitution in 1940 18 patients were murderedwhile psychiatrists and staff watched. Followingthe experiments success, the euthanasia pro-gram began.

Some 300,000 mental defective per-sons 94% of all Germanys mentally ill mettheir deaths at the hands of psychiatrists. Whatfollowed was the Holocaust. Rdin stated, Onlythrough the Fhrer did our dream of over thirtyyears, that of applying racial hygiene to society,

become a reality.36Even though Rdin was the architect of

the plan that made legalized mass murder a

reality, incredibly today, the U.S. NationalAlliance for Research on Schizophrenia and

Racist psychologist Hendrik

Verwoerd, who became

Prime Minister of South Africa

in 1958, issued that countrys

1930s, laying the ground-

work for apartheid and withit, secret psychiatric slave

labor camps where tens of

thousands of Blacks were

imprisoned and forced to

work in appalling conditions.

PsychiatricSlave Camps

policies allowed the African to improve his skill,draw better wages and provide a better marketwithin white South Africa.

As a result, proper education was also denied

Blacks. To reinforce this, psychologist M.L. Fickinvented an intelligence test to prove the inferi-ority of color castes and how their educationalabilities were limited.40

With millions of people facing substandardeducation, unemployment and poverty and, conse-quently, low morale, it is no wonder that psychiat-ric institutions were established or that the justifi-able and normal reactions to the resultant oppres-sion were falsely labeled as mental disorders.

For more than 30 years, these specialpsychiatric institutions were run by secretagreement between the government and the pri-

vate Smith, Mitchell & Co. (now called Lifecare),

to keep and treat black patients. The apart-heid government guaranteed a 90% occupancyrate. Tens of thousands of Blacks were incarcer-ated against their will, drugged and subjected to

electroshock without anesthetic, because anesthet-ics were too expensive to use on Blacks. Theywere hired out to companies to perform unpaidlabor, making coat hangers, brushes, sheets andother items under the guise of industrial therapy.

Members of the Church of Scientology and theCitizens Commission on Human Rights exposedall of this in 1974, resulting in psychiatrists con-vincing the apartheid government to revise theMental Health Act to make it a criminal offense toreport on conditions in any psychiatric hospital orto take any photographs of them. So CCHR wentoutside of South Africa, reporting its evidence to

the World Health Organization (WHO). In 1997,


16/36

the WHO respondedwith an investigation ofthe psychiatric camps.In 1983, a report on its

findings condemnedthe use of patients forunpaid labor, stating,This situation has noparallel in the historyand present state of psy-chiatric care; it certainlydoes have a parallelin the ownership andtrading of slaves.41

It also referencedanother inquiry whichhad substantiated

CCHRs allegations ofunexplained patientdeaths: The mostshocking finding ofour investigation wasthe high number ofneedless deaths among

black patients in SmithMitchell facilities. Atnone of the facilitiesdid we find evidence ofadequate medical care during the patients final ill-nesses we saw charts of black patients in their 40sand 50s who were apparently allowed to die.

When apartheid ended in 1994, CCHR helpedinitiate a Health Ministry inquiry into malpracticeand racism in psychiatric hospitals. The inquiryfound gross patient abuse, falsified death certifi-cates and general mistreatment of patients.42 Thecamps were reformed.

In 1997, CCHR presented testimony to theSouth African Truth and Reconciliation Com-mission about the apartheid crimes of psychia-trists and psychologists. The Psychological Societyof South Africa finally admitted that psychological

studies had been deliberately aimed at discredit-ing Blacks as intellectually inferior.43

Still, the effects ofapartheid will take along time to rectify,especially because of

the obstruction by thepsychiatric industry.CCHR Com missionerLawrence Anthonyaddressed the WorldPsychiatric Associ-ation on behalf of theSouth African govern-ment, reporting that theSociety of Psychiatristsof South Africa hasfailed to admit anyguilt or responsibility

for its role in apart-heid atrocities. Instead,psychiatrists are usingthe post-apartheid erato garner more busi-ness, diagnosing theresponse of Blacksto apartheid oppres-sion as a persecutioncomplex.44

Psychiatrys DestructiveExperiments in the U.S.

Psychiatric treatment of minoritieshas also included some of the most barbaricexperiments ever carried out in the name ofscientific research.

In the 1950s in New Orleans, black prisonershad experimental electrodes implanted into theirbrains by psychiatrists Robert Heath from TulaneUniversity and Harry Bailey from Australia. Baileylater boasted in a lecture to nurses that they had cho-sen the test subjects on the basis that it was cheaperto use Niggers than cats because they were every-where and cheap experimental animals.45

Heath also conducted secret tests funded bythe Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), using LSD

HARMFUL PHILOSOPHYPsychiatrys Racist Impact in the U.S.

Professor Barry Mehler, Ph.D. of Ferris State

University tells us: There is a clear and

long and intimate connection between the

eugenics movement and the Ku Klux Klan. Harry

Laughlin, who was the Carnegie Institutions

Director of Eugenics, wrote a glowing review

of the KKK book, White America. Thomas Dixon,

who glorified the exploits of the KKK, had

studied the works of British psychologist Herbert

Spencer who coined the phrase, the survival

of the fittest. Dixon subsequently authored

three racist books. The first, The Leopards

Spots, concluded that peace could only

be achieved through the separation of the

races. He claimed, [T]he beginning of Negro

equality is the beginning of the end of this nations

life. The eugenics movement helped to fuel the

KKKs purpose, with Hiram Wesley Evans, Grand

Wizard of the KKK in 1923, referencing eugenics

leaders in his speech given on Klan Day.

The resurrection

of the Ku Klux Klanin 1915 coincided

with the rise of

eugenics-based

racism in America.

and a drug called bulbocapnine, which in certaindoses produces severe stupor. He experimentedon prisoners at the Louisiana State Penitentiaryto see if the drug would cause loss of speech,

loss of sensitivity to pain, loss of memory, [and]loss of will power46

At the U.S. National Institute of MentalHealth (NIMH) Addiction Research Center inKentucky, drug-addicted African-Americanswere given LSD, which kept many halluci-nating for 77 consecutive days. At this same

center in the 1960s, healthy African-Americanmen were used as test subjects for the experi-mental chemical warfare drug, BZ, whichwas 100 times more powerful than LSD.

In the 1970s, the NIMH supported one of themost covert and evil experiments ever aimed at Blacksand Hispanics. Following the 1960s riots in Watts(an African-American section of Los Angeles), Louis

Jolyon West of UCLAs (University of CaliforniaLos Angeles) Neuropsychiatric Institute created thetheory that the events were tied to genetic and racial

factors and those prone to such violence were mostlyyoung black urban males. He proposed a ViolenceInitiative that would see to it that offenders betreated with psychosurgery and chemical castra-tion. Wests idea was to test his treatment plan intwo high schools one Black, the other Hispanic.(Protests led by CCHR and others concernedcaused the governments funds for this researchproject to be cut.)

Ernst Rodin, head of the neurology depart-ment of the Lafayette Clinic in Detroit, Michigan,claimed that children of limited intelligence oftenturned to violence if treated as equals. Rodincalled for dumb young males who riot to becastrated in much the same way as oxen.47

Negative typecasting and comparisons betweenBlacks and animals continued at the NIMH. In the

1990s, psychiatrist Frederick Goodwin, director ofthe NIMH, compared black youth living in innercities to hyperaggressive and hypersexual

monkeys in a jungle.48The NIMHs second Violence Initiative

targeted children as young as five. Their scientific justification was to conduct research to see ifAfrican-Americans and Hispanics had a violentgene that could be controlled by psychiatricdrugs. Drugs known to cause violent behaviorwere to be given to the children.

Dr. Seth Farber, director of the NetworkAgainst Coercive Psychiatry, stated, Just likethe Nazis ... what [psychiatrists] want to do isscapegoat black youth, put them on drugs and

take away the rights of their parents. It is anoutrageous, racist and oppressive plan.

ABUSE REPORTRacism in the United Kingdom

David Rocky Bennett, a 38-year-

old African-Caribbean living in

England, had an argument with

a white patient over the use of

a phone in a psychiatric facility.

Staff picked Bennett to be segregated from the

rest of the patients. He became more upset.

The staff then pinned him face down on the

floor for 25 minutes. He screamed, Get off me,

get off me, I cant breathe. Get off my throat.

They are going to kill me. His screams

were ignored. Then they stopped David was

dead.

A May 2001 coroners inquest determined

Accidental Death Aggravated by Neglect.

David Bennetts family requested and obtained

a government inquiry into his death. This resulted

in a February 2004 report that painted a bleak

picture of institutional racism in the countrys

mental health system. Sir John Blofeld, a retired

High Court judge, stated: Black and minority eth-

nic communities have a fear of the NHS [National

Health Service]: that if they engage with the mental

health services they will be locked up for a very

long time, if not for life, and treated with medica-

tion which may eventually kill them.

z Desmond McLean was raped at the age of

14. He would not speak about his ordeal, which

worried his family. After an argument at home,

he was admitted to an adult psychiatric ward in

England: Whenever I showed any resentment to

what was happening to me, four or five adults

would jump me and pull my trousers down and

put a needle in my buttocks. Having that needle

gives them a lot of control over your emotions.

Whenever black people show any signs of psychi-

atric problems they are labeled paranoid schizo-

phrenic or psychotic. Its because they dont

understand where black people are coming from

and how we express our frustrations.

Today, in the United States, psychiatristsand psychologists boldly demand moreresearch funds because African-Americans,Native American Indians and Hispanics

are over-represented in the ranks ofthe mentally ill. Whipping the devilout of them has been replaced withpsychosurgery, electroshock and psychiatricdrugs. The results are obvious, especially inthe inner cities. Racial minorities have beenintroduced to a whole new level of mind-altering, legally permissible drugs. This hasushered in a new wave of drug addiction,

followed by escalating crime, illiteracy andunemployment. Today, single-parent familiesare common. Too many Black and Hispanicmen are imprisoned compared to the rest of

the population. Evidence of racial profilingabounds, yet the NIMH pours millions andmillions into researching at risk minoritypopulations and their aggressive behavior.

Former clinical psychologist and CCHRCommissioner William Tutman warns, Tooppress a race, and then label its reaction asa mental illness, is not only morally wrong,it is criminal and fraudulent.

n March 2003 the United States GoldwaterInstitutes Policy Report on Race andDisability: Racial Bias in Arizona SpecialEducation reported that, Of both low-income and African-American fourth

graders tested, 60% scored below basic on thelatest National Assessment of EducationalProgress Examination.49

According to the Goldwater Institute, Thesheer number of studentsmislabeled is staggering.Even worse, in predomi-nantly white school dis-tricts, minority studentsare classified as learningdisabled at significantlyhigher rates.50

Black students arethree times more likelythan white students to belabeled mentally retard-ed. While black studentsaccount for only 16% ofthe U.S. student popula-tion, they represent near-ly 32% of all students inprograms for mild mental retardation.

A 1993 U.S. News and World Reportrevealed thatAfrican-Americans were over-represented in specialeducation programs in 39 states.

A decade later, the U.S. Presidents Commissionon Excellence in Education revealed that 40% ofchildren in Special Education were being labeled

with learning disorders simply because they werenttaught to read.

Gary Orfield, co-director of HarvardUniversity's Civil Rights Project, wrote: The dis-proportionate placement of black males into specialeducation classes has created a ghetto within aghetto. For a lot of these kids, this is a direct pathto jail. This is taking a bad problem and puttingit inside another even worse problem. Its justunconscionable.51

According to Asa Hilliard, professor of urbaneducation at Georgia StateUniversity, If you call akid retarded who is not,or say that he is learningdisabled and he is not,and you separate himout for special instruc-tion, which isnt special,that just compounds theproblems.52

For minorities, Spe-cial Education meanscontinued, yet covert,psychiatric racism. It is ameans for hooking mil-lions of children ontomind-altering psychiat-

ric drugs by labeling them with learning disabili-ties at a cost of $30 billion a year to the taxpayersof the United States.

Psychiatrists and psychologists use theAmerican Psychiatric Associations Diag-nostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM-IV) and the mental disorders section of the

International Classification of Diseases tojustify these abuses.

Numerous books show that health and

educational problems alone can cause attention and

behavioral problems, thereby discrediting the

ADHD learning disorder monopoly.

The DSM, accordingto professor HerbKutchins, co-authorof Making Us Crazy,is an unreliableclassification system.Defenders of slavery,proponents of racialsegregation haveconsistently attemptedto justify oppression byinventing new mental illnesses and by reportinghigher rates of abnormality among African-Americansor other minorities.53

Psychiatrists literally vote on whether or not agroup of symptoms should be considered a mentaldisorder for inclusion in the DSM.

Using the manual, psychiatrists can fraudulentlydiagnose any child as suffering Attention DeficitHyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The symptomsinclude has difficulty playing quietly, often talks

excessively, often loses things, fails to completeschoolwork, chores, or other duties... and often

fidgets with hands orfeet or squirms in seat.In other words, psy-chiatrists define andlabel normal childhood

behavior as a mentaldisorder. The prescrip-tion is always for apsychiatric drug withharmful, mind-alteringcharacteristics.

Psychiatrists have dreamt up further theories,such as chemical imbalances in the brain, to justifychild drugging. There is no such thing as a chemicalimbalance. Dr. Mary Ann Block, author of No More

ADHD, points out, The psychiatrist does not do anytesting. The psychiatrist listens to the history andthen prescribes a drug.

There are numerous side effects and risks withthe drugs prescribed for so-called ADHD.

A short list of these follows:z

THE DEADLY RISKPsychological Programs in Schools


22

F or many years, schools have employeddestructive psychological programs. Angermanagement is claimed to teach individu-als to control their aggression and anger; conflict

resolution is supposed to help a person to resolve

a conflict without resorting to violence. Yet in one

anger management class, a boy beat up a class-

mate so badly that six days later the victim was still

in the hospital.59

Another psychological experiment, death educa-

tion, has been used in many countries since the 1970s.

It requires children to dis-cuss death, suicide and to

write their own wills and

epitaphs.

z One U.S. death

e d u c a t i o n c l a s s

involved taking students

to a deserted river shore-

line, to observe a mock

crime scene complete

with a dismembered

mannequin in the car

trunk, a severed arm in

a grocery bag and a bloody hacksaw.60

z In Kyoto, Japan, in a bizarre attempt to edu-

cate children about violence, a teacher disguised in a

cap and sunglasses, and brandishing a 20-inch

metal rod, burst into a class of 11-year-olds

sending them stumbling over desks and chairs

trying to escape.61

z Joey, an 8-year-old African-American, attend-

ed a problem solving class in his school. He was

shown a film that depicted a young boy trying to

kill himself by tying a rope around his neck. In the

film, the boy talks about not being liked at school,

being teased and worrying about growing up. Joeys mother did not know about the program

as the school curriculum merely stated that it was

social sciences. Two days after her son watched

this video, she walked into his room and found him

dead, hanging by a rope from his bunk bed.

z Columbine High School shooters, Eric Harris

and Dylan Klebold are prime examples of the failure

of anger management and death education.

Harris was taking an antidepressant that often causes

violent mania. Both Klebold and Harris were ordered

by the court to undergo psychological counseling,

including anger management. They also partici-

pated in school-baseddeath education.

As part of the

death education

class, students were

asked to imagine their

own death. Harris sub-

sequently had a dream

where he and Klebold

went on a shooting

rampage in a shopping

center. After writing of

his dream and handing

it in to the teacher, Harris and Klebold acted out

the dream by killing a teacher, 12 classmates and

then themselves.62

Influenced by psychiatrists, in 2003 the

[U.S.] president's New Freedom Commission on

Mental Health recommended the early detec-

tion of mental health problems in children and

adults through routine and comprehensive

testing and screening in schools.63

Students are screened or profiled by

using questionnaires that inquire about their

own and their parents attitudes and behaviors.

Questions include, during the last 12 months, howmany times have you hit or beat up on someone

Give the mental

health industry a leave of

Dylan Klebold

CREATEDKILLERS:Columbine High School

students Eric Harris and

Dylan Klebold killed a teacher,

12 classmates and themselves

in a murderous rampage that

took place after both boys

had undergone court-ordered

psychological counseling and

anger management. In

addition, they had taken

death education classes

in their school where they

were instructed to imagine

their own deaths. At

the time of the killings,

Harris was also taking an

antidepressant known tocause aggressive behavior.

or stolen something from a store? Other questions

ask how many times theyve used cocaine, had sexual

intercourse, felt sad or depressed and how often their

parents tell them they love them.64

The TeenScreenTM

program in the United Statesuses questions such as, Has there been a time when

nothing was fun for you and you just werent interested

in anything? Has there been a time when you felt you

couldnt do anything well or that you werent as good-

looking or as smart as other people?65 The psychiatrist

who invented the test admits there is an 84% error rate

in identifying at-risk children.

With enough correct answers, the next ques-

tionnaire, called the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for

Children (DISC), claims to be able to check for 18 psy-

chiatric disorders.66 The

child is then referred to

a psychologist or psy-chiatrist and, usually,

prescribed drugs.

Dr. Joseph Glenmullen, of Harvard Medical

School, says the questionnaire of symptoms used

to diagnose depression may look scientific,

but when one examines the questions asked

and the scales used, they are utterly subjectivemeasures .67

Educational author Beverly Eakman warns,

The term screening takes on new meaning as

children, and by extension, their families, today

are assessed for supposed markers of psychologi-

cal disorders with the results of such analyses

going into cross-referenced electronic [data] sys-

tems. 68 Her advice? Give the mental health

industry a leave of absence from our nations

homes and schools.69

IMPORTANT FACTS

All psychiatric and

psychological racist influence

in our courts, police

departments, prisons, schoolsand universities must be

eradicated so that it can never

again be used to oppress and

degrade individuals.

A proper, non-psychiatric,

medical examination must be

conducted to determine if an

undiagnosed physical problem

is causing any persons

unwanted behavior.

The psychiatric profession has

a profit interest in ensuring

that racist ideas continue to

influence our society. The way

to ensure freedom from their

consequences is to continue to

identify and limit the influence

of the exact source of this

social poison psychiatrists

and psychologists.

South African President Nelson R.Mandela, in his autobiography LongWalk to Freedom, states, Out of theexperience of an extraordinary humandisaster that lasted too long, must be

born a society of which all humanity will beproud. Never, never, and never again shallit be that this beautiful land will again experi-

ence the oppression of one by another. Thesun shall never set onso glorious a humanachievement.

To achieve thisdesired society, thepsychiatric sources ofapartheid and similarextraordinary humandisasters must beclearly identified.

Isaac Hayes says:Children are the hope

of our culture, whetherBlack, Hispanic, NativeAmerican, or any race.Do inner-city youth,antagonized by pover-ty, substandard inner-city education, unem-ployment and brokenfamilies, need labelsand drugs that will turn them violent? This

battle is about mental slavery.In response to this mental slavery

psychiatric labels and drugs the NationalAssociation for the Advancement of Colored

People (NAACP) in the United States unan-imously passed a resolution supporting federallegislation that would protect children from

being forced onto psychiatric drugs in schools.A proper examination must be performed todetermine if an undiagnosed physical problem iscausing any childs unwanted behavior.

The numerous factors that fit the ADHD

criteria, but which can be accurately diagnosedas allergic reactions orvitamin/nutritionaldeficiencies, include:

z High levels oflead from the environ-ment, which can placechildren at risk of

both school failure anddelinquent behavior.High mercury levelsin the body also maycause agitation.

z Insect killingagents which can cre-ate nervousness, poorconcentration, irritabil-ity, memory problems,and depression.

z Too much sugarcan make a person tooactive or hyper.

Our modern-day fast food, which often lacksnutritional value, can dramatically affect apersons behavior.

z

Bad food or poor nutrition can create anxi-ety and other behavioral or mental problems.

Out of the experience of an

extraordinary human disaster that

lasted too long, must be born a

society of which all humanity will

be proud. Never, never, and never

again shall it be that this beautiful

land will again experience the

oppression of one by another. The sun shall never set on so

glorious a human achievement.

Helping, Not Betraying, ChildrenMichael was 8 years old when he was diag-

nosed with ADHD at school and prescribedpsychiatric drugs. His mother didnt like the

idea, but was told by psychologists andpsychiatrists thatunless Michael tooktheir medication hewould not be allowedto stay in class. Aftertaking the prescribeddrugs, he became dis-ruptive, argued withhis parents and ranaway from home. Hismother, Patricia, real-

ized that his behav-ior started with histaking the drugs. Shesought the help of amedical doctor whodidnt prescribe psy-chiatric drugs. Shediscovered Michaelsuffered severe aller-gies, the symptomsof which were iden-tical to those listed

by psychiatrists asADHD. The doc-tor slowly took himoff the drugs andmade sure he didnteat foods to whichhe reacted badly. Healso received tutor-ing to catch up on the schooling he had missedwhile influenced by the drugs he had taken.He returned to his old self. Today, Michael isan outspoken teenager who can strip and puttogether a computer faster than his father and

wants to become a film director.Fred Shaw tells this story: A black youth

was brought to the home, diagnosed as ADD(Attention Deficit Disorder). The treating psy-chologist said that we wouldnt want to takehim. As he supposedly had ADD, I asked the boy

some basic questions:Whats the longesttime youve ever talk-ed with a girl on thephone? Three to fivehours, he replied. Doyou remember whatshe said? He couldremember it all. Howlong can you play aNintendo [video]game? He told mehed played it eight

hours straight. Whatabout books? Can youread? He said he read

books from the begin-ning to end the oneshe liked reading. Hedalso played full gamesof basketball. So itappeared to me thathe could pay attentionto anything that hewas interested in.70

The drugging of

our children is onlyone aspect of psychia-trys assault on minor-ities or other racialtargets, and protectingour children requiresgreat vigilance from

all parents. But the psychiatric profession hasa financial interest in ensuring that racist ideascontinue to plague our future leaders.

The way to ensure freedom from their con-sequences is to continue to identify and limit

the influence of the exact source of this socialpoison psychiatrists and psychologists.


29/36

The destructive influence of psychiatry has caused chaos throughout society,especially in the hospitals, courts, prisons and educational systems. Citizensgroups should unite and work together to first expose and then abolishpsychiatrys hidden manipulation of society.

If you are aware of a psychiatrist or psychologist abusing a friend, familymember or neighbor, file a complaint with the police against any offending

psychiatrist and his or her hospital, associations and teaching institutions.CCHR can assist you.

While CCHR does not provide legal advice, with the help of competent legalcounsel, you can prevent psychiatrists and psychologists from taking awayyour rights and forcing your children or a family member to be placed onpowerful psychiatric drugs. CCHR can also assist you with this.

If you do have a problem, talk to someone you trust a parent, brother orsister, teacher, minister or a friend. Get real help, not psychiatricand psychological betrayal.

If your child is having problems in school, speak with his or her teacherand ensure that the child fully understands the educational materials, hasbeen taught phonics and is able to use a simple dictionary in class to fullydefine and understand words. Insist upon a tutor not drugs toaddress educational problems.

If anyone you know is exhibiting emotional problems, a competent andcaring non-psychiatric physician needs to be found who will conducta thorough physical exam to determine whether an untreated physicalcondition is the cause of the problem.

he Citizens Commission on HumanRights (CCHR) was established in1969 by the Church of Scientologyto investigate and expose psychiatricviolations of human rights, and toclean up the field of mental heal-

ing. Today, it has more than 250 chapters in over34 countries. Its board of advisors, calledCommissioners, includes doctors, lawyers, educa-tors, artists, business professionals, and civil andhuman rights representatives.

While it doesnt provide medical orlegal advice, it works closely with and supportsmedical doctors and medical practice. A key CCHRfocus is psychiatrys fraudulent use of subjectivediagnoses that lack any scientific or medicalmerit, but which are used to reap financial ben-efits in the billions, mostly from the taxpayers orinsurance carriers. Based on these false diagno-ses, psychiatrists justify and prescribe life-dam-aging treatments, including mind-altering drugs,which mask a persons underlying difficulties and

prevent his or her recovery.

CCHRs work aligns with the UN UniversalDeclaration of Human Rights, in particular thefollowing precepts, which psychiatrists violateon a daily basis:

Article 3: Everyone has the right to life,liberty and security of person.

Article 5: No one shall be subjected to tor-ture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment

or punishment.Article 7: All are equal before the law and

are entitled without any discrimination to equalprotection of the law.

Through psychiatrists false diagnoses, stig-matizing labels, easy-seizure commitment laws, brutal, depersonalizing treatments, thousandsof individuals are harmed and denied theirinherent human rights.

CCHR has inspired and caused many hun-dreds of reforms by testifying before legislativehearings and conducting public hearings into psy-chiatric abuse, as well as working with media, law

enforcement and public officials the world over.

THE CITIZENS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS

investigates and exposes psychiatric violations of human rights. It worksshoulder-to-shoulder with like-minded groups and individuals who share a

common purpose to clean up the field of mental health. We shall continue to

do so until psychiatrys abusive and coercive practices cease

and human rights and dignity are returned to all.

Dr. Ben NgubaneMinister for Arts, Culture, Scienceand Technology, South Africa:

I congratulate CCHR for having identi-fied the inhumanity inflicted on the mentallyill and their untiring campaign to bring this tothe worlds notice. As a country and govern-ment, we will work with organizations suchas CCHR seeking to protect all citizens fromthe type of terror and oppression experienced

by the majority of the citizens of South Africaduring apartheid.

The Hon. LeAnna WashingtonCommonwealth of Pennsylvania:

Whereas, [CCHR] works to preservethe rights of individuals as defined by theUniversal Declaration of Human Rights andto protect individuals from cruel, inhumanor degrading treatment the House ofRepresentatives of Pennsylvania congratulates

(CCHR International) ... its noble humanitar-ian endeavors will long be remembered anddeeply appreciated.

Isaac HayesGrammy award-winning composer,musician and actor, internationaladvocate for literacy:

African-Americans and black communi-ties all over the world have been the target of

psychiatrys racial inferiority theories, whichled to substandard education being given tomany of them. CCHR is an important groupbecause if we allow psychiatrists to propagatethe lie that our people are victims, that theyare mentally ill when, in fact, they have beenoppressed by psychiatrys own racist ideolo-gies and tests, then it will be our fault. CCHRhas a commitment to improving conditions inthe mental health field and they are effectivelydoing something about it.
