The Revolt Against Psychiatry “A truly outstanding contribution to critical work in this area. I simply loved reading the manuscript; by turns, questioning, thought-provoking, heart-breaking, challenging, yet always positive, sensitive to different outlooks, and with a real humanistic quality at its heart. I congratulate Professor Burstow and all the contributors to the book – the text is really moving, and made me (as a mental health academic) reflect upon a whole number of issues…. So inspiring!” —Bruce Cohen, Senior Lecturer in Sociology, University of Auckland, New Zealand “Revolt against Psychiatry is a celebration of living life on one’s own terms. Defiant, relentless and radical, these anti/critical psychiatry dialogues extol activism and commitment from the edges of a world intent on not listening. A must-read for those thinking about the impact of institutional violence and what it means to be an expert through experience. A stellar contribution. Migwetch, everyone involved, and Mazel Tov.” —Jennifer Wemigwans, Assistant Professor, OISE/University of Toronto, Canada, and author of A Digital Bundle: Protecting Indigenous Knowledge Online “A ‘terrific read,’ this latest book of Professor Bonnie Burstow’s is an exceptional contribution to her already formidable repertoire. Consisting of 15 dialogical interviews with major players in the critical and antipsychiatry fields in different parts of the world, it is highly accessible, is enormously informative, and I predict will quickly become an indispensable go-to resource both for seasoned scholars and new students trying to wrap their mind around ‘the revolt against psychiatry.’” Venceremos, Bonnie —Stephen Ticktin, member of the Medical Psychotherapy Association of Canada “In this amazing book, Bonnie Burstow gathers together a wide variety of expert global players in the critical/antipsychiatry movement. These stand-alone thoughtprovoking dialogues stimulate debate and offer a fascinating look into the opinions and strategies of people who challenge psychiatry. Passionate, gripping, heartwarming, and at times harrowing.” —Cheryl Prax, survivor and member of the British activist group Speak Out Against Psychiatry, UK
“Fantastic Work! Burstow’s wide-ranging and deeply engaging series of dialogues not only exposes psychiatry as a pseudoscience but provides clues on how to resist and replace it. With a solid focus on human rights and an unwavering commitment to follow where the science leads, Burstow demonstrates that psychiatry isn’t a service. It’s a disservice.” —Irit Shrimrat, co-founder of the Ontario Psychiatric Survivors’ Alliance, Canada
