Publisher's Information

 

Noember 10, 2004

 

Dear Madam, dear Sir,

 

we want to draw your attention to our new book " Coming off Psychiatric

Drugs, " now translated completely into the English language.

 

The world-wide first book about the issue " Successful coming down from

psychiatric drugs " primarily addresses treated people who want to

withdraw on their own decision. It also addresses their relatives and

therapists. Millions of people are taking psychiatric drugs, for

example Haloperidol, Prozac, Risperidone or Zyprexa. To them, detailed

accounts of how others came off these substances without once again

ending up in the in the doctor's office are of fundamental interest.

 

In this practice-book 28 people from Australia, Austria, Belgium,

Denmark, England, Germany, Hungary, Japan, the Netherlands, New

Zealand, Serbia & Montenegro, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA write

about their experiences with withdrawal. Additionally, eight

professionals, working in psychotherapy, medicine, psychiatry, social

work, natural healing and even in a runaway-house, report on how they

helped in the withdrawal process.

 

The chapters: The Decision to Withdraw • Withdrawal without

Pharmacogenic Problems • Coming off Step by Step • Counterweights • To

Withdraw with Professional Help • Better Sometimes than Forever •

Professional Acting • The Time After

 

Sincerely yours

Peter Lehmann
