Why join ISEPP?
If you question:
- The notion of reducing human beings and social life to a bundle of synapses, neurons and neurotransmitters?
- The idea that mental disorders are simply caused by chemical imbalances and or brain disease?
- Using psychotropic drugs and electroshock as primary modalities for helping persons who are experiencing emotional distress, life crises, difficult dilemmas and psychospiritual emergencies?
- The practice of labeling traits such as shyness, volatility, irritability and introversion as mental diseases?
- A mainstream biological psychiatry which pays little to no attention to the context of patients’ lives and non-medical approaches to helping?
And you are concerned...
- That the state of non-drug psychotherapy which helps patients learn how to more effectively manage their thoughts, feelings, intentions, perceptions and behavior is in jeopardy?
- That millions of American children are being drugged with harmful psychotropic drugs without scientific evidence clearly showing long-term benefit from such drugging?
- That newly trained psychiatrists learn almost, and in some cases absolutely nothing about non-drug psychotherapy?
