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. For them, detailed accounts of how others came off these substances without ending up once again in the doctor's office are of fundamental interest. In this manual, 25 former psychiatric patients from Australia, Austria, England, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA - and for the first time, a relative - write about their experiences with withdrawal. Additionally, ten professionals, working in psychotherapy, medicine, psychiatry, social work, natural healing, on the Internet and even in a runaway-house, report on how they helped in the withdrawal process. Prefaces by Judi Chamberlin, Pirkko Lahti, Loren R. Mosher and Peter Lehmann
