[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 71188, member: 1498"] Peter Breggin is not nor has he ever been a Scientologist though he did work with them for a couple of years. From [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Breggin[/url] [I]Breggin testified as an expert witness in the Wesbecker case (Fentress et al., 1994), a lawsuit against Eli Lilly, makers of Prozac. Ultimately, the jury found for Eli Lilly. It was later revealed that the plaintiffs and defendants had secretly settled behind closed doors. Breggin alleges that pharmaceutical manufacturers have committed ad hominem attacks upon him in the form of linking him to Scientology campaigns against psychiatric drugs. In particular, Breggin levels this accusation against Eli Lilly. Breggin acknowledges that he did work with Scientology starting in 1972, but states that by 1974 he "found [himself] opposed to Scientology's values, agenda, and tactics", and in consequence "stopped all cooperative efforts in 1974 and publicly declared [his] criticism of the group in a letter published in Reason." Breggin has also stated that he has personal reasons to dislike Scientology since his wife, Ginger, was once a member.[/I] ETA: Don't fall for that stuff that everyone who criticizes psychiatry is a Scientologist. Or that anyone who agrees with anything Scientologists say is also a Scientologist. IIRC, he CCRH site has a lot of valid information written by non-Scientologist taken from non-Scientologist source.
