Graphic by Lindsay Levitz


The initial purpose of this page was to bring to the visitor an introduction to the writings of Dr David Cooper, his discoveries and criticisms in and of the field of Mental Health. When first published there was no mention of him on the web apart from sites selling his books. He has a growing profile now.

It was David Cooper who coined the term Anti-Psychiatry and who first outlined the Psycho-Dynamics of Schizophrenia. His writings include: “Reason & Violence" with R. D. Lang, "Psychiatry Anti-Psychiatry" "The Death of the Family", "The Grammar of Living" and "The Language of Madness”

See Psychiatry Anti-Psychiatry Re-Visited.

The page then evolved to include papers published on the web that support or add to his findings.

See Anti-Psychiatry Now.

And further evolved as a directory of anti-psychiatry or critical psychiatry sites.
