"I wish I'd had this book when I was trying to come off psychiatric drugs." --Kate Millett, author of SEXUAL POLITICS and THE LOONY BIN TRAP

"In a non-technical, easy to understand language, [the authors] bring an incredibly important and hardly ever recognized message to people who need to understand the dark side of psychiatric drugs and how to stop taking them. I heartily recommend [this book]." --Candace Pert, Ph.D., Research Professor, Department of Physiology and Biophysics

Georgetown University Medical Center

"This is a courageous, compassionate book, and a much-needed antidote to the pro-drug bias of modern psychiatry and psychology." --John Horgan, author of THE END OF SCIENCE and THE UNDISCOVERED MIND
