Obedience Pills

Obedience Pills: ADHD and the Medicalization of Childhood Every day across this great land of ours, children are swallowing pills for something called “Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.” Once upon a time, the mass drugging of children was the subject of spirited debate, but that controversy seems for the most part to have died down. The goal of this book is to re-ignite that controversy.

“An outstanding and painstakingly researched treatise on ADHD… It should be in every pediatrician’s office and in every graduate student’s library.”
Michelle Barrett, M. Ed., Founder, Del Dios Counseling Services

“A must-read for anyone currently living with a diagnosis of ADHD.” Bruce Cohen, University of Auckland

El Naufragio de lo Singular

Comprar: El Naufragio de lo Singular

La esperanza de vida en Occidente lleva descendiendo desde 2015. Unido a esto, el clima de la atención sanitaria se ha vuelto tóxico. Esta crisis, tan urgente como el cambio climático global, tiene sus raíces en los mismos factores que impulsan dicho cambio.

El Naufragio de lo Singular examina nuestro entorno cambiante a través de una lente sanitaria y no económica. Una de las ventajas de esto, es que cada una de nosotras está mejor situada para corregir lo que va mal en el clima sanitario que para abordar el clima global. Al abordar lo que hay que cambiar en salud, podemos resolver nuestra crisis climática más amplia.

Shipwreck of the Singular

Buy: Shipwreck of the Singular

Shipwreck of the Singular looks at our changing environment through a healthcare lens rather than an economic one. One advantage to this is that each of us are better placed to put right what is going wrong in the climate of healthcare than we are to tackle the global climate. In tackling what needs changing in health, we may solve our wider climate crisis.

This book does not come with recommendations from people of distinction, or experts who have turned a blind eye to developments that have landed us in the mess we now have.

The people best placed to grasp what is going wrong and force our ‘betters’ to justify the distinctions that have been bestowed on them are those whose lives have been touched by what is going wrong in healthcare.

Shipwreck shows you how we got to the point of peril we are now at. It points to a Care that needs courage. A book won’t get us there. It needs you to engage and engage others.

One could scarcely have been alive and conscious anywhere in the Western world any time in the past twenty-five years and not have been aware of a raging controversy surrounding antidepressants, suicide, and violence—a controversy that shows no sign of abating. During that same period, prescriptions for antidepressants have skyrocketed. So what is the story?

Children of the Cure

Buy: Children of the Cure

Children of the Cure tells the story of the only Medical Study that has two publications in the academic literature—telling precisely the opposite story—and how no one is bothered by this. Study 329 was a clinical study that began in 1994 giving a new antidepressant to teenagers. It has become the most famous clinical trial ever, leading to a fraud charge, a $3 billion fine, and a Black Box Warning.
