ABOUT THE AUTHOR

 

 

In the 1990s update to his terrific book, Electroshock: The Case

Against, which offers summaries of activist resistance to electroshock

over the last four decades of the 20th century, Robert Morgan offered

the following acknowledgment of Leonard Frank.

 

 

 

His written work on ECT and advocacy against it have straddled the

decades covered in this book. Initially disabled by ECT, Leonard

devised some particularly ingenious organizational and memory

techniques to overcome his resultant learning disabilities. He has

devoted his life to addressing and correcting abuses of the

psychiatric system, particularly ECT. Although he has been a strong

and effective figure in this history over the decades, it is

particularly now that he has emerged as a key figure. A tough,

gentle, articulate and consummately effective organizer, he has

probably done more to advance survivors' rights than anyone else. A

former editor of the Madness Network News (survivors journal) and

current primary leader of the opposition, both scientist/professional

and survivor, he has been the role model and integrity for a very

diverse coalition of independent individuals. Thanks to Leonard, a

very well financed and credentialed initiative was defeated, at least

in San Francisco, at least for now.

 

Leonard Frank has been strong, effective, gentle and tough with me

over the last decade as he became a primary mentor and very close

friend. He is best described, however, by the dynamics of love and

truth. More than anyone, he has helped me to become more clear about

language and the patterns of psychiatric oppression. When the idea to

form the Coalition for the Abolition of Electroshock in Texas came

into my head last summer, Leonard nurtured the idea with enthusiastic

support, and helped us be clear about our Gandhian approach of active,

transparent, nonviolent resistance. As we organized ourselves into

existence this past fall, Leonard stepped up and has been an integral

voice of wisdom, guidance and encouragement. I am grateful to be

working shoulder to shoulder with this awesome man, in his fifth

decade of activism against psychiatric oppression in general, and

electroshock in particular.
