A Message from Isaac Hayes


Psychiatric programs and drugs have ravaged our inner cities,
helping to create criminals of our young people, and all because
psychiatrists and psychologists were allowed to practice racist
behavioral control and experimentation in our schools, instead of
leaving teachers just to teach.
CCHR has a commitment to improving conditions in the
mental health field by exposing abuses like this all well
documented and they are effectively doing something about
them. That is why I became a commissioner of their organization
and why I ask that you listen to what they have to say.

unsuspected groups are actively and deceptively
fostering racism throughout the world. The
legacy of these groups includes such large-scale
tragedies as the Nazi Holocaust, South Africas
apartheid and today, the widespread disabling
of millions of schoolchildren with harmful,
addictive drugs. These groups are psychiatry
and psychology.
In 1983, a World Health Organization report
stated, in no other medical field in South
Africa is the contempt of the person, cultivated
by racism, more concisely portrayed than in
psychiatry.4

IMPORTANT FACTS
For centuries, psychiatry and
psychology have provided the

2
scientific justification for racism.

The emergence of racism was


certain to happen considering the
basic philosophies that govern the
psychiatric and psychological
professions. The first is the
survival of the fittest principle,
which underlies the psychiatric
eugenics (racial improvement)
movement; the other is the
psychiatric idea that man is merely
an animal. Together they form a
mentality that breeds anti-social
theories and attitudes, including

3
racist ones.

In 1883, British psychologist


Francis Galton created the term
eugenics, from the Greek word
eugenes, meaning good stock,
and defined certain racial groups

4
as inferior.

Through their history of invented


racial diseases, psychiatry and
psychology have not only
legitimized modern racism, but
also provided the justification
for outright genocide.

For over 200 years racist theories


such as those promoted by psychiatrist
Benjamin Rush and psychologist Francis
Galton (top right) have been used
to justify discrimination.

inferiority was sterilization. Sanger planned to

African-Americans and Hispanics that do worse
than Whites in intelligence tests, are genetically
disabled and therefore cannot cope with the

In an argument similar to those made by early
advocates of racial purity, Herrnstein, a psy-
chologist, claimed that Americans were becoming
more stupid with each generation, and advocated
selective breeding to prevent human residue
from coming into existence.30
Through their history of invented racial dis-
eases, arbitrary judgments on better stock and
bogus scientific claims like lower IQ and racial
inferiority, psychiatry and psychology have not
only legitimized racism, but also provided the
reason for outright genocide.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations

1 The destructive influence of psychiatry has caused chaos throughout society,


especially in the hospitals, courts, prisons and educational systems. Citizens
groups should unite and work together to first expose and then abolish
psychiatrys hidden manipulation of society.

2 If you are aware of a psychiatrist or psychologist abusing a friend, family


member or neighbor, file a complaint with the police against any offending
psychiatrist and his or her hospital, associations and teaching institutions.
CCHR can assist you.

3 While CCHR does not provide legal advice, with the help of competent legal
counsel, you can prevent psychiatrists and psychologists from taking away
your rights and forcing your children or a family member to be placed on
powerful psychiatric drugs. CCHR can also assist you with this.

4 If you do have a problem, talk to someone you trust a parent, brother or


sister, teacher, minister or a friend. Get real help, not psychiatric
and psychological betrayal.

5 If your child is having problems in school, speak with his or her teacher
and ensure that the child fully understands the educational materials, has
been taught phonics and is able to use a simple dictionary in class to fully
define and understand words. Insist upon a tutor not drugs to
address educational problems.

6
If anyone you know is exhibiting emotional problems, a competent and
caring non-psychiatric physician needs to be found who will conduct
a thorough physical exam to determine whether an untreated physical
condition is the cause of the problem.
