UPDATE (part 2 now here) — Psychiatry’s response to Robert Whitaker’s “Anatomy of an Epidemic”

Robert Whitaker speaks at the ISEPP convention in Los Angeles 2011. He’s a wonderful speaker. This is well worth listening to. Instead of talking just about the data he presents in Anatomy of an Epidemic he speaks of how psychiatry and society in general is responding to his work.

Only Part 1 is on youtube so far. I suspect the next parts will be uploaded later. I’ll post them as they come in if it happens soon. Otherwise check back at the ISEPP youtube channel here.

Part 2 is now available and included below:

(Don’t know why but they disabled embedding for Part one.  Part 2, at least for now, can still be watched here)
