Paula and I were born in the same year. After the publication of our book ‘Soul Survivor – A personal encounter with psychiatry,” on his radio show, David Oaks interviewed us both. As part of MindFreedom International, I found out why I was labelled, electroshocked and drugged by psychiatry. Her book ‘They Say You’re Crazy’ was one of the first books I read.
She has inspired many other victims of psychiatric deception and oppression to speak out and break the silence, so hopefully we will achieve human, social, and civil rights for all those labelled and drugged by institutional, bio psychiatry. As a woman, she appreciated that male domination gives pseudoscientific psychiatry the power to promote mythological, irrational ‘mental health/illness/disorder so easily.
May you rest in power and peace, Paula and may your strong spirit remain with us to continue your legacy!
