Hello Kindred Community!
I am a Texas psychologist and an activist in challenging wrong-headed ways that my so-called mental health profession deals with people (e.g., name-calling, drugging, electroshocking), and in supporting more lovign and sensible actions such as those advocated by you Kindred folks.
I am 57-years-old, and have 3 children. My son, Eric, is 23 and a graduate student in art and photography at Pratt Institute in New York City. Some f his activity may be seen on his blog at www.ericdouglasbreeding.blogspot.com. My daughter, Vanessa, is a 19-year-old, zestful powerhouse attending Pomona College in Southern California. She is studying languages and gender dynamics. My 17-year-old stepson, Gardiner, is a creative wonder who attends the Austin Waldorf School. My wife, Karen, is a talented and popular counselor (www.karencounseling.com).
I have been a psychologist for about 25 years, and done a lot of things--counseling, teaching, writing, speaking, workshops and political activism on issues related to psychiatric oppression. You can find out more about me and my work at www.wildestcolts.com.
For the Kindred Community, I am available to respond to a question or two each month on issues related to psychology and psychiatry, and of course young peopel and parenting. I will do my best to give thoughtful and relatively deep responses.
I admire and appreciate Kelly and all of you for your ongoing work in support of us all!
Peace,
John
