TIMELINE PSYCHIATRY&EUGENICS-HARVARD2BUCHENWALD,LAPON,LENNYSNAG-02s-w.txt
Franz J. Kallman a well-known German bom and educated U.S. psychiatrist 
19360000             -UNTIL Franz J. Kallman worked In Nazi Germany 
Franz J. Kallman wrote In Eugenical News that "compulsory sterilisation of all hospitalized schizophrenics would not prevent more than from 1 percent to 3 percent schizophrenic Individuals" from being bom. 
According to researcher Peter Broggin,
Franz J. Kallman therefore called for "legal power" to sterilize tainted children and, siblings of schizophrenics and to prevent marriages Involving "schizoid eccentrics and borderline cases."
19390000             Psychiatrists In Nazi Germany began murdering mental patients at Bmndenbem, one of the six 'kill' Institutions
used for the 'Euthanasia' program. 
19450000             -In, by the end of World War 2, At least 300,000 people labelled 'mentally III' and 'mentally defective' were slaughtered by gassing, starvation and injection of lethal drugs  
19410000             Viktor Brack, one of the heads of the "Euthanasia" program sent a "Report an Experiments X-Ray Castration" to Himmler 
19410000             In which he stated a two-tube Installation could thus sterilize 150-200 persons per day, twenty Installations some 3000-4000 persons per day.
The Nazi program for the killing of Psychiatric Inmates and others was extended to Dachau and the other concentration camps under the code name of 14fl3.
19420000             U.S. psychiatrist Foster Kennedy wrote an article In the July Issue of the chief Journal of the American
Psychiatric Association advocating the killing of "retarded" children, the "utterly unfit", to relieve them "the agony of
living" and to spare their parents expense and anguish. Kennedy said, "So the place for euthanasia I believe, Is for
the completely hopeless defective, natures mistake, something we hustle out of sight, which should never have been
seen here at all.
19450000             Lancet, the major British medical Journal, published "Sterilisation of the Insane In the USA." According to this
article, which was based on Information In the Journal of the American Medical Association, over 42,000 people were
sterilized In the U.S. In the three-year period of 19410000—1943. California led all other states with over 10,000 and the
breakdown was:
"Insane" 20,600
"feeble-minded" 20,453
others 1,563
plus an unknown number earned out privately In other hospitals.
19460000             The Doctors' trial began at Nuremberg. Just a few of the multitude of Nazi doctors Involved In the 'Euthanasia'
program and the Infamous experiments on Inmates of concentration camps were brought to trial. Dr. Pfannmueller,
psychiatrist and director of a state Institution In Nazi Germany where many children were starved to death In the
name of euthanasia, testified at Nummbum:
...euthanasia and the work of the National Board had, In my view, nothing to do with National Socialism. 
'They were Just as legal as the regulations for prevention of transmission of hereditary disease and Infection In marriage. 
DURING THE NATIONAL SOCIALIST REGIME These laws were passed . But
CENTURIES OLD the Ideas from which These laws arose are .
19470000             Karl Brandt, While a defendant In the Doctors trial for his role as leader of the euthanasia program and for other over crimes, 
19470000             Karl Brandt realized that 
19470000             many of the Nazi Ideas concerning "life not worthy of living", Sterilisation and the Ilk, had been based an Ideas and writings from the United States.
19470000             Karl Brandt reminded his U.S. prosecutors of this fact by Introducing several of those works as evidence In his defence. 
One was the book, The Passing of the Great Race, by Madslon Grant. (
Madslon Grant was chairman of the New York Zoological Society and 
Madslon Grant was curator of the American Natural History Museum.) 
19470000             Karl Brandt excerpted the following from a 
#19230000             German TRANSLATION of this The Passing of the Great Race, by Madslon Grant book:
#19230000             ... A strict selection by exterminating the Insane or Incapable -In other words, the scum of society - would solve the whole problem IN 1 CENTURY, and 
#19230000             ... A strict selection by exterminating the Insane or Incapable would enable us to got rid of the undesirable elements who people our prisons, hospitals and lunatic asylums. 
#19230000             The Individual may be supported, brought up, and protected by the community during his life time, but 
#19230000             the state must see to It by sterilisation, that he Is the last Individual of his line of descent,
#19230000             otherwise future generations too, will be burdened with the curse of an ever Increasing number of victims of misguided sentimentality.
19470000             Karl Brandt also used as evidence a copy of Man the Unknown by Alexis Carrel (See 
19350000                    of this chronology) and 
19470000             Karl Brandt also used as evidence a copy of a book by Dr. Erich Ristow, a German lawyer, entitled Law Concerning Hereditary Health which 
pointed out
19070000                     Indiana's forced sterilisation law of and 
18980000                    -IN an unsuccessful attempt to pass a similar forced sterilisation law by the state of Michigan. 
Another defence exhibit, Human Selection and Eugenics by Dr. Fritz Lenz and Dr. Bauer contained this historical fact:
The credit for Introducing Vasectomy of the male for the prevention of Inferior progeny belongs to the American physician Sharp. 
18990000—19070000    DURING THE YEARS OF , the American physician Sharp sterilised on his own responsibility, 176 mentally deficient persons In a prison In the State of Indiana.
Psychiatrist Edwin Katzenellenbogen, 
former member of the faculty at Harvard Medical School 
was convicted of war crimes he had committed as a doctor at Buchenwald Concentration Camp. 
During his trial In Dachau, Germany by the U.S. Army, 
he testified that 
he had "...drafted for the governor the law for sterilisation of epileptics, criminals and Incumbly Insane for the State of New Jersey, 
following the state of Indiana 
19100000              -IN the state of Indiana first Introduced the law .
19480000             Walter Freemen, who performed more them 3500 lobotomles, demonstrated his Icepick technique at the UNIVERSITY—OF—Virginia In Charlottesvllle.
 Patricia Dohan, then a student nurse, described the procedure which was
done In front of lights and cameras In an amphitheater full of doctors from throughout the state:
As each patient was brought In, Dr. Fmenman would shout at him that this was going to do something that would
make him feel a lot better. The patients had been given electroshock Just before they were brought In: that's
probably why he yelled at them. The shock was the only medication they received. He gave nothing for the pain, no
anaesthesia, no muscle miaxant.
After the patient was placed on the table, Dr. Freeman would clap his hands and his two assistants would hold up an
enormous piece of green felt the color of a pool table. That was the photographic backdrop. Dr. Freemen would
direct the placement of lights so that each operation could be photographed, and he checked carefully to be sure
that the cameraman was ready that he had a good shot showing Dr. Freemen with his Instrument, that there was no
shadow to spoil the picture. His main Interest during the entire series of lobotomles seemed to be on getting good
photographic angles. He had each operation photographed with the Ice-pick In place. When all was ready, he would
plunge It In. I suppose that was part of his surgical technique, If there Is a technique for such surgery. You probably
have to plunge It In to break through the back of the eye socket. He lifted up the eyelid and slid the Ice-pick-like
Instrument over the eyeball. Then he would stab It In suddenly, check to be sure the pictures were being made, and
move the pick from side to side to cut the brain.
Freeman called lobotomy a mercy killing of the psyche. According to Scheflln and Opton In their book The Mind
Manipulators, 100,000 people received psychosumlcal operations In one ten-year period, 19460000—1955, half of them In
the U.S.
Katzen-ellenbogen was mistaken about the year Indiana passed It's first Sterilisation law. It was In 1907 not 1910.
Perhaps he drafted the New Jersey law In 1910. One page of the report Is missing, so we Jump on to 1969 (If you can
grasp that we are still getting closer to our own years!)
19690000             Arthur R. Jensen, psychology PROFESSOR—at the UNIVERSITY—OF—California In Berkeley, received national attention
when Harvard Educational Review published his article 'How Much can we boost IQ and Scholastic Achievement?" In
It Jensen argued against compensatory education and for "heredity of Intelligence." His work Included such gems as:
'In the actual race of life, which Is not to get ahead, but to get ahead of somebody, the chief determining factor Is
heredity.' So said Edward L. Thorndike In 1905. Since then, the preponderance of evidence has proved him right... It
Is reported by the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness, for example, that when all causes of
mental retardation can be reasonably explained In terms of known complications of pregnancy and delivery, brain
damage or major gene and chromosomal defects are accounted for, there still remains 75 or so percent of the cases
who show no such specific causes...
From this and other similar reports Jensen attributed the mental retardation to heredity rather then to a culturally
and racially biased labeling process (I.e. IQ tests) or to social, economic and racial discrimination - to mention a few
of the political factors Involved In not receiving high scores on IQ tests. (What Is Inherited Is money, class privilege
and white skin privilege) In fact, Jensen wrote. "There Is an Increasing realisation among students of the psychology
of disadvantaged, that the discrepancy In their average performance cannot be completely or directly attributed to
discrimination or Inequalities In education."
... On the average, Negroes test about 1 standard deviation (15 IQ points) below the average of the white
population In IQ. FOR MANY YEARS the criterion for mental retardation was an IQ below 70. In recent years the
National Association for Mental Retardation has raised the criterion to an IQ of 85, since an Increasing proportion of
persons of more than 1 standard deviation below the average In 10 are unable to get along occupatlonally In today's
world...
This letter statement should not be taken lightly. Jensen Is talking about Increasing the number of people In the U.S.
labelled "mentally retarded' from 5.5 million to over 37 million, since 2.5 percent of the approximately 220,000,000
people In this country score 1 or more standard deviations below the average IQ and 17 percent of the population
score 1 standard deviation below this so called average rate.
19700000             Psychologist James V. McConnel wrote In Psychology Today:
... The day has come when we can combine sensory deprivation with drugs, hypnosis and astute manipulation of
reward and punishment to gain almost absolute control over an Individuals behaviour. It should be possible then to
achieve a very rapid and highly effective type of positive brainwashing that would allow us to make dramatic changes
In a persons behaviour and personality.... We should reshape society so that we all would be trained from birth to
want to do what society wants us to do. We have the techniques now to do It. ...We'd send him (the criminal) to a
rehabilitation centre where he would undergo positive brainwashing.... We'd probably have to restructure his entire
personality.... 
..No one owns his own personality.... 
You had no say about what kind of personality you acquired, and
there's no reason to believe you should have the right to refuse to acquire a new personality If your old one Is anti-social.
19710000             The editors of the Philadelphia Inquirer conducted telephone poll on the question 
"Should the U.S. Encourage Sterilisation among low IQ groups?" 
69.2 of those polled voted In favour of sterilisation.
PROFESSOR—Richard Hernnstein of Harvard stated In the Atlantic monthly:
...The tendency to be unemployed may run In the genes of a family about as certainly as bad health.... 
As the wealth and complexity of human society grow, there will be precipitated out of the mass of humanity a low capacity
Intellectual and otherwise residue, that may be unable to master the common occupations, cannot compete for
success and achievement and are most likely to be born to parents who have similarly failed.... 
The trouble has already caught the attention of alert social scientists... who have described the Increasingly chronic lower class In Americas central cities.
19720000             Arthur Jonson's Genetics and Education was published. 
In It he wrote, "the rate of occurrence of mental retardation with, IQ's below 70, plus all the social, educational, and occupational handicap that this Implies, Is six to
eight times higher In our Negro population than In the rest of the population..."
Nobel phze-wlnning PROFESSOR—William Shockley proposed a voluntary sterilisation program In an address before the
American Psychological Association. His plan would have the government - pay £1000 for each IQ point below 100 to
welfare recipients wishing to be sterilised.
19720000—19730000    Dr. Louis Jolyon West, director of the Neuropsychiatric Institute at the UNIVERSITY—OF—California at Los
Angeles (U.C.L.A.). proposed to utilize an abandoned Nuke missile base for the Center for the Study and Reduction of Violence (CSRV). 
In a confidential letter to Dr. J.M. Stubblebine, Director of Health In the California OFFICE—OF—Health Planning, 
West wrote that 
"Comparative studies could be earned out there, 
In an Isolated but convenient location, 
of experimental or model programs for the alteration of undesirable behaviour." 
19770901             —DATED In a secret proposal West revealed another goal of the Centre:
19770901             ...NOW by Implanting tiny electrodes deep within the brain... 
19770901             It Is even possible to record bioelectrical changes In the brain of freely moving subjects, through the use of remote monitoring techniques. 
19770901             They are not yet feasible for largescale screening that might permit detection of a violent episode. 
19770901             A major task of the centre could be to devise such a test... 
19770901             The centre's subjects were to Include "hyperkinetic" children and those with "chromosomal abnormalities" ...
19770901             a long range study should be Instituted to Identify children who have this type of genetic abnormality, and 
19770901             to compare their development with that of children who have normal chromosomes... 
19770901             Such research has great Implications, especially with the growing development of mans of practical Intervention to overcome hereditary defects.
19730000             In response to pressure from the gay liberation movement
 the American Psychiatric Association eliminated 'homosexuality' as a diagnostic category of "mental disorders". 
JudI Chamberlain an ex- Inmate activist, has pointed out that 
IMMEDIATELY the APA created "a new diagnosis of 'sexual orientation disturbance'... 
which referred to homosexuals who are either disturbed by, 
 conflict with, or
 wish to change their sexual orientation. 
No comparable diagnostic category was created for heterosexuals who may want to change their sexual orientation."
 (Thousands of gays were persecuted and exterminated by the Nazis In the concentration camps.)
Dr. Russell Socket, author of Florida's, "Death With Dignity" bill, said, "Florida has 1,500 mentally retarded and
mentally III patients, 90 percent of whom should be allowed to die."
Cyril Kolocotronis, an Inmate at Western State Hospital In Ft. Stellacoorn, Washington described the electroshock he had received:
...A jolt of power jars you Into the darkness of temporary death. It's a darkness you can't see or perceive. It's the
equivalent of death, except you wake up again. You wake up upstairs In your cell and they feed you breakfast. It
destroys some of the cells In your brain and erases your treasured memory. The war-criminal doctor gives you not
one of these, but 15, and one guy got 100! .... And every doctor applying electricity to the flesh knows It harms. His
sins are seen by the skies and by himself. He's worse than an Auschwitz fanatic. AND NO MATTER WHAT HE TELLS
YOU AND WHAT PROPAGANDA HE SPREADS. HE WON'T TAKE SHOCK TREATMENTS HIMSELF OR GIVE THEM TO ANY
MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY.
Peter Bmggin reported In an article about psychosumery, "minorities will, of course, be the first to suffer. It Is no
surprise that poor people, the elderly and women were the primary victims of the first wave of lobotomy In the state
hospitals. It Is no surprise either, that ghetto rioters were the first concern of the Boston psychosumeons, that black
prisoners and children are among the first victims as psychosumeons move Into prisons and children's Institutions,
and that women and older people again dominate the statistics In the new wave of psychiatric surgery.
19740000             Judge Gernard A. Gesell stated In a U.S. District Court opinion, although Congress has been Insistent that all
family planning programs function an a purely voluntary basis there Is uncontroverted evidence In the record that
minors and other Incompetents have been sterilized with federal funds and that an Indefinite number of poor people
have been Improperly coerced Into accepting a sterilization operation under the threat that various federally
supported welfare benefits would be withdrawn unless they submitted to Irreversible sterilisation. Patients receiving
Medlcald assistance at childbirth are evidently the most frequent targets of this pressure, as the experience of
plaintiffs Waters and Walker Illustrate. Mrs. Waters was actually refused medical assistance by her attending
physician unless she submitted to a tubal llgatlon after the birth.
Gesell further declared that "Over the lost few years, an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 low-Income persons have
been sterilized annually under federally funded programs. These low-Income Americans have, of course, Included
disproportionately numbers of woman, blacks, Hispanlcs and those labelled mentally retarded and mentally III.
19750000             Edward 0. Wllson's Soclo-blology: The New Sciences was published. Wllson-deflned soclo-blology as "the
systemic study of the biological basis of all social behaviour." He Immediately assumed that the reader would accept
the highly questionable claim that social actions have a biological basis rather than a social, political and economic
basis, and he went on to declare the following - lately high hehtablllty has been documented In Introversion -
extroversion measures, personal tempo, psychomotor and sports activities, neurotlclsrn, dominance, depression, and
the tendency toward certain forms of mental Illness such as schizophrenia...
...The building blocks of nearly all human societies Is the nuclear family.... The population of an American Industrial
city, no less than a band of hunter-gatherers In the Australian desert, and Is organised around this unit. In both
cases the family moves between regional communities. Maintaining complex ties with primary kin by mans of visits (or
telephone calls and letters) and the exchange of gifts. During the day the women and children remain In the
residential area while the men forage for game or Its symbolic equivalent In the form of barter and money....
Scientists and humanists should consider together the possibility that the time has come -for this to be removed
temporarily from the hands of the philosophers and blologlclsed... The second contribution of evolutionary soclo-
blology will be to monitor the genetic basis of social behavior...
19760000             Lulsah Talsh wrote an article In Madness Network news, entitled "That Nigger's Crazy!" Warning "Beware! The
labelling hasn't stopped"; from "hostile", "aggressive" or "hyperactive" children being given Ritalln to "anti-social",
"alienated" and "depressed" Black woman being given shock, the story Is the same. There Is a label and a treatment
for "The Black Sickness". We know that If sanity Is defined by white upper-middle class standards then we are In
grave danger. It Is very easy AT—THIS—TIME, when Third World people are seeking their own Identities, to say "That
Nigger's Crazy.... LOCK HIM UP."
R.A. McConnell, Research PROFESSOR—of Biophysics et THE—UNIVERSITY—OF—PITTSBURGH, declared:
I estimate that somewhere between 10 and 30 percent of the U.S.A. population has Inadequate genetic endowment
to make a net zero or greater economic contribution In a modern Industrial society. Or to say It more precisely, this
many people are In excess over the possible need for their level of ability. Unless the average genetic competence
can be raised, a large (and presently growing) fraction of our people must be permanently In the spiritually degrading
position of being charitably dependent upon the rest of us. 

 This, I believe, Is one mot cause for our present social
malaise. 

 A fortloh [even more certain], a still higher fraction Is so restricted by genetic endowment as to be unable
to understand many of the Intellectually complex Issues that are submitted to public vote. 

 In short, our civilisation
based on science and technology, which are the creation of a minuscule elite, has grown too complex for the
ordinary man.
#19790000-18690000    110 YEARS AFTER the publishing of Gallon's, Hereditary Genius, 
#19790000             the Repository for Germinal Choice was set up In Escondido, California to make available the sperm of Nobel Prize winners and other creative, Intelligent people.
#19790000             William B. Shockley was 1 of the donors to this sperm bank.
19560000             -IN William B. Shockley won the Nobel prize for physics and

The INSTITUTE—FOR—THE—STUDY—OF—Medical Ethics In Los Angeles attacked a proposal by Dr. Soul Krugman of the New York University School of Medicine to Inject retarded children with an untried experimental vaccine made from the diseased blood of hepatitis victims. 
19550000             -IN Krugman had earned on a similar experiment et Wlllowbrook State Hospital 
(See this chronology). 
Carleen Bhdgeman, a registered nurse and executive director of the Institute said
Krugman's reasoning that the children would probably contract hepatitis anyway, even If they were not deliberately
Infected with It, was the same type of justification that was used by the Nazi doctors In defending their torturous
and deadly "medical" experiments on Jews and other concentration camp victims. It was all right to freeze them, to
poison them, to Infect them with deadly diseases, to explode their brains, to remove their organs one by one... 
It was all right because they were going to die anyway.
19100000          ???       The NEW—YORK—TIMES reported that 
                     30-YEAR PERIOD-OVER-A  4.000 men, women, children had been sterilised at the Lynchbum Training School and Hospital 
to hd Virginia of 'misfits'. 
Dr. K. Ray Nelson, director of this Institution
(which was formerly called the Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feeble-Minded), 
said that 
the bulk of the operations had been earned out 
1930                  S AND '
1940                  S IN THE under the 
                      'NOW-discredited' theory of eugenics 
In an effort to raise the Intelligence of the people of the state. 
Dr. K. Ray Nelson also said he felt his predecessors had had "pretty honourable" motives for the sterilisation's 
which were "accepted medical practice FOR THEIR TIMES."
THE TIMES FURTHER REPORTED THAT 
19270000—19720000    -FROM TO In Virginia 1.300 women had undergone sterilisation 
19270000—19720000    -FROM TO under a law which STILL permitted It when doctors thought a "patient" was "afflicted" with any hereditary form of mental Illness or retardation and 
19270000—19720000    -FROM TO the procedure Is "In the best Interest of such patient and society." 
UPHELD The Virginia Supreme Court the law for compulsory sterilisation, 
19240000             law for compulsory sterilisation, 
The Virginia Supreme Court ruling the law for compulsory sterilisation was not to punish but to protect the class of socially Inadequate citizens from themselves and 
The Virginia Supreme Court ruling the law for compulsory sterilisation was to promote the welfare of society by mitigating race degeneration and 
The Virginia Supreme Court ruling the law for compulsory sterilisation was to promote the welfare of society by raising the average Intelligence of the people of the state."
Most of those sterilised at Lynchbum were lied to and told they were having an operation for correction of a medical problem such as an appendectomy. 
Judy Goldbem, on official for the American Civil Liberties Union, 
which became Involved In a class action suit around the sterilisation Issue, 
told that 
                STILL more than 20 states permitted compulsory sterilisation of "Incompetent" persons.

19840000—19850000    (although 1984 does not go away) ... 
As you are reading this book,
 psychiatric Inmates, 
elderly residents of nursing homes, 
"hyperactive" (I.e.. full of youthful, rebellious energy) children,
 "street people", 
all kinds of "outpatients", "misfits", etc.
- you and I and our children, parents, grandparents, sisters and brothers and friends -
are being attacked and seriously harmed, 
killed, 
by psychiatry. 
We are being drugged against our will and 
not told of the true deadly effects of the drugs.
 We are being shocked, 
lobotomised (
under new modern names such as
cingulotomy and 
amylgdalotamy, and 
locked up In psychiatric Institutions. 
We are being cooled-out by "talking therapies", 
"behaviour-modified" to fit Into the sterile scheme of corporate America (
some being eliminated altogether because 
that scheme doesn't have a place for all of us) and 
told that we are "sick" , 
"mentally retarded" and that 
we are being "helped". 
There are 20.000.000-25.000.000 ex-mental patients In the U.S. . 
We must continue to build the psychiatric Inmates liberation movement. 
We must join together with each other and with others who understand the oppressive nature of psychiatry and Its threat to human freedom and dignity. 
We must fight back against psychiatric oppression In both Its brutal and subtle forms.
I am convinced - and at one time I tried very hard to believe otherwise by reading a good amount of psychiatric literature - that 
when there are physiological (I.e. chemical) changes In peoples bodies & brains, 
they am the result of, not the cause of, or a justification for such conditions as being Incarcerated for long periods In Institutions,
receiving powerful damaging psychiatric drugs and electroshock, and malnutrition from poverty.
DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES

7. We oppose the psychiatric system because It Is Inherently tyrannical.
8. We oppose the psychiatric system because It Is an extra-legal parallel police force which suppresses cultural and political descent.
9. We oppose the psychiatric system because It punishes Individuals who have had or claim to have had spiritual experiences and Invalidates these experiences by donning them as symptoms of mental Illness.
10. We oppose the psychiatric system because It uses the trappings of medicine and science to mask the social-control function It serves.
11. We oppose the psychiatric system because It feeds on the poor and powerless, the elderly, women, children, sexual minorities, people of colour and ethnic groups.
13. We oppose the psychiatric system because It creates a stigmatised class of society which Is easily oppressed and controlled.
14. We oppose the psychiatric system because Its growing Influence In education, 
the prisons, 
the military government, 
Industry and medicine threatens to turn society Into a psychiatric state made up of two classes: 
those who Impose "treatment" and 
those who have or are likely to have It Imposed on them.
15. We oppose the psychiatric system because It Is familiar similar to the Inquisition, chattel slavery and the Nazi concentration camps.
16. We oppose the medical model of mental Illness because It justifies Involuntary psychiatric Intervention Including forced drugging.
17. We oppose a medical model of mental Illness because 
It dupes the public Into seeking or accepting "voluntary" treatment by 
fostering the notion that fundamental human problems, 
whether personal or social, 
can be solved by psychiatric means.
18. 
We oppose the use of PSYCHIATRIC TERMS because 
PSYCHIATRIC TERMS substitute jargon for plain English and 
PSYCHIATRIC TERMS are fundamentally stigmatising, 
PSYCHIATRIC TERMS are fundamentally demeaning, 
PSYCHIATRIC TERMS are fundamentally unscientific, 
PSYCHIATRIC TERMS are fundamentally mystifying and 
PSYCHIATRIC TERMS are fundamentally superstitious.

19. We believe that suicidal thoughts and/or attempts should not be dealt with as a psychiatric or legal Issue.
20. We believe that alleged dangemusness, whether to oneself or others, should not be considered grounds for
denying a person liberty, and that only proven criminal acts should be the basis for such denial.
21. We believe that persons charged with crimes should be tried for their alleged criminal acts with due process of
law, and that psychiatric professionals should not be given expert-witness status In criminal proceedings or courts of
law.
22. We believe that them should be no Involuntary psychiatric Interventions In prison and that the prison system
should be reformed and humanised.
23. We believe that the psychiatric system cannot be reformed but must be abolished.
24. We believe that voluntary networks of community alternatives to the psychiatric system should be widely
encouraged and supported. Alternatives such as self-help or mutual support groups. Advocacy/rights groups, co-op
houses, crisis centers and drop-Ins should be controlled by the users themselves to serve their needs, while ensuring
their freedom, dignity and self-mspect.
