INTRODUCTION Betraying Our Children 3 IMPORTANT FACTS

In 1879, German psychologist Wilhelm Wundt declared Man to be an animal, with no soul. With this, he laid the foundation for modern 1 psychology and psychiatry.

In the U.S. and elsewhere, strong and effective scholastic-based systems were compromised. Psychologist Edward Lee Thorndike 2 said phonics, multiplication tables and formal writing were “wasteful.”

In the 1940s psychiatrists G. Brock Chisholm (Canada) and John Rawlings Rees (Britain), co-founders 3 of the World Federation for Mental Health, said, psychiatrists had carried out a “useful attack” on the “teaching profession” and that the goal of “effective” therapy was the elimination of the concept of “right and wrong.”

By the 1960s (and ever since), psychological programs were introduced into schools. 4 Psychiatrists claimed that three sources of stress had to be eliminated from schools: 1) school failure, 2) a curriculum centered around academics, and 3) disciplinary procedures.

Psychologists and psychiatrists have insinuated themselves into positions of authority in the 5 educational field and completed an almost total overthrow of the subject, turning schools from places of learning into “mental health clinics.” CHAPTER ONE Dismantling Workable Education

MANFRED MÜLLER-KÜPPERS, of the German Society for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, asserted in the 1970s that there should be “no provi- sions for school attendance without child psychiatric examinations.”14 The influence is still prevalent. In 2003, psychiatrists and psychologists advised a U.S. New Freedom Commission on Mental Health to recom- mend, “[T]he early detection of mental health problems in [school] children … through routine and comprehensive testing and screening.” IMPORTANT FACTS

Parents and teachers are not informed that “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” (ADHD) is not a neurobiological disorder as 1 psychiatrists claim. There is nothing neurological, biological, chemically imbalanced or genetic about it.

The Food and Drug Administration and other drug regulatory bodies warn that stimulants prescribed for ADHD cause strokes, heart attacks 2 and death. It is a “public crisis” says a leading cardiologist.

In 1952, the American Psychiatric Association’s (APA) Diagnostic 3 & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) contained only three “disorders” for infants or children. Today, there is a nearly ten-fold increase in the number of child disorders.

In 1987, “Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder” (ADHD) was literally voted into existence 4 by APA committee members and enshrined in the DSM. Within a year, 500,000 children in the U.S. alone were diagnosed with it.

More than 20 million schoolchildren worldwide have now been 5 diagnosed with so-called mental disorders and prescribed cocaine- like stimulants and powerful antidepressants as treatment.

The creation of bogus learning disorders as listed in psychiatry’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) enables psychiatrists to label and drug millions of children at great profit. CHAPTER TWO The ADHD Fraud

CHAPTER TWO The ADHD Fraud 11 IMPORTANT FACTS

Over a 10 to 15 year period, there were a reported 350 child deaths from stimulants, antidepressants and antipsychotics in the United States 1 alone. More deaths were reported in Australia.

Children have been diagnosed with “chemical imbalances” despite the fact that no test exists to support such a claim and there is no real 2 conception of what a correct chemical balance looks like.

With millions of children fraudulently labeled with ”ADHD,” psychiatrists are creating a generation of drug 3 addicts. The manufacturer of one stimulant prescribed for “ADHD” admits it is a drug of dependency.

Millions of children and adolescents are also taking antidepressants that British, Australian, Japanese, 4 European and U.S. drug regulatory agencies have warned can cause psychosis, aggression, hallucinations, suicide, strokes, heart attacks and death.

Matthew Smith was forced by his school to take a psychiatric stimulant to help him “focus” better. However at age 14, he died of a heart attack that a coroner attributed to the prescribed stimulant. More and more children are being diagnosed with ADHD, a “disease” that has never been clinically proven to exist. Widespread marketing has been partly responsible for the increase.

CHAPTER THREE Child Drug Pushing 15 IMPORTANT FACTS

The psychological program “values clarification” emerged from Germany and was introduced into U.S. classrooms in the 1960s under 1 various names, including Outcome Based Education (OBE).

At least five teens responsible for U.S. school massacres had undergone psychological behav- 2 ior modification school programs like “death education,” including Columbine High School shooters, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.

In Japan, the destructive impact of psychological and psychiatric programming in schools was 3 highlighted by the case of a teacher dressing up as a terrorist and bursting into his classroom, terrifying children in an effort to “teach” them about violence.

Beverly Eakman, an educator and bestselling author, makes clear that the agenda of psychiatrists and 4 psychologists is to “jettison sys- tematic academic knowledge” in favor of manipulative psychological programs and dangerous psycho- tropic drugs.

Psychiatric drugs and psychological practices were behind the violence in U.S. high schools such as the shooting in Columbine, Colorado (above) in 1999 and have been implicated in teen violence in other countries. CHAPTEREradicating Right FOUR and Wrong

chapter five Taking Back Control 26 RECOMMENDATIONS Recommendations

You have the right to refuse permission for your child to be subjected to any psychological or psychiatric questionnaire, test or evaluation in 1 school. Ensure you place your child in a school that supports this. If your child has been subjected to psychological/psychiatric screening without your consent, or coercively drugged and harmed, 2 consult a lawyer to determine your right to prosecute criminally and civilly, especially against the authors of the questionnaires and, if psychologists or psychiatrists, their colleges and associations.

Speak out — be your child’s voice. Start or join a parents’ group 3 that can speak out about the wrongful labeling and drugging of our children and provide support for each other.

Support legislative measures that will protect children from 4 psychiatric and psychological interference and which will remove their destructive influence from our schools.

Ultimately, psychiatry and psychology must be eliminated from all 5 education systems and their coercive and unworkable methods should not be funded by the State.
