IMPORTANT FACTS
1 In 1879, German psychologist

Wilhelm Wundt declared Man to be
an animal, with no soul. With this,
he laid the foundation for modern
2
psychology and psychiatry.
In the U.S. and elsewhere, strong

and effective scholastic-based
systems were compromised.
Psychologist Edward Lee Thorndike
said phonics, multiplication tables
and formal writing were wasteful.
3 In the 1940s psychiatrists G.

Brock Chisholm (Canada) and John
Rawlings Rees (Britain), co-founders
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.
4 By the 1960s (and ever since),

psychological programs were
introduced into schools.
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.
5 Psychologists and psychiatrists

have insinuated themselves into
positions of authority in the
educational field and completed
an almost total overthrow of the
subject, turning schools from
places of learning into mental
health clinics.

IMPORTANT FACTS
1 In 1865, Zurich psychiatrist

Wilhelm Griesinger falsely claimed
that all mental problems must be
diseases of the brain. Undeterred
by the absence of proof to this
day, psychiatry built a multi-billion
2
dollar empire on this false science.
In the late 1800s, German

psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin was
first to label and codify human
behavior as disorders while
acknowledging that psychiatry
had no effective treatments or cures.
3 In 1952, the American Psychiatric

Associations (APA) Diagnostic &
Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders (DSM) contained only
three disorders for infants or
children. By 1980, there was a
nearly ten-fold increase in the
number of child disorders.
4 In 1987, Attention Deficit

Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
was literally voted into existence
by APA committee members and
enshrined in the DSM. Within a
year, 500,000 children in America
alone were diagnosed with it.
5 17 million schoolchildren
worldwide have now been
diagnosed with so-called mental
disorders and prescribed cocaine-
like stimulants and powerful anti-
depressants as treatment.
The creation of bogus learning disorders

IMPORTANT FACTS
1 Psychiatrists theorize that mental

problems stem from a chemical
imbalance in the brain or are
the result of a neurobiological
disorder to justify the administration
of powerful mind-altering drugs.
2 Children have been diagnosed with

chemical imbalances despite the
fact that no test exists to support
such a claim and there is no real
conception of what a correct
chemical balance looks like.
3 With millions of children

fraudulently labeled with ADHD,
psychiatrists are creating a
generation of drug addicts. The
manufacturer of one stimulant
prescribed for ADHD admits
it is a drug of dependency.
4 Millions of children and adolescents

are also taking antidepressants that
British, Australian, European and
U.S. drug regulatory agencies have
warned can cause suicide.
5 The rise in gratuitous and

murderous violence amongst youth
is linked to the introduction of
and increases in violence-inducing
drugs being prescribed to them.
Matthew Smith was forced by his school to take a psychiatric

stimulant to help him focus better. However, in 2000, 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.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations
1 You have the right to refuse permission for your child to be subjected
to any psychological or psychiatric questionnaire, test or evaluation in
school. Ensure you place your child in a school that supports this.
2 If your child has been subjected to psychological/psychiatric

screening without your consent, or coercively drugged and harmed,
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.
3 Speak outbe your childs voice. Start or join a parents group

that can speak out about the wrongful labeling and drugging of our
children and provide support for each other.
4 Support legislative measures that will protect children from

psychiatric and psychological interference and which will remove
their destructive influence from our schools.
5 Ultimately, psychiatry and psychology must be eliminated from all

education systems and their coercive and unworkable methods should
not be funded by the State.
