I thought that Milloy was a lawyer. Has Evil Organised Medicine been
secretly taking over other professions?

This must be from Mark Probert.

Isn't that the strangest thing.

Mark wrote:

certification when he started practising was not the same as today, and many
doctors did not go for it. My younger son's ped ortho, licensed in 1951, was
not board certified for fifteen years. He is still doing surgery, BTW, and
is better in his 'waning years' than some will ever be (comment by several
orthopedists who I know, and agreed to by me).

I guess it all depends who you are.

What's more, on Barrett's website, he mentions this also.

Of course he never was, double standards of organized medicine.

Then, I find the one who is trashing Dr Breggin is Steven Milloy.

Athiest, lobbyist.

Member of organized medicine.

Nuff said.

Goofy opinion, but Alfred Kinsey and others have expressed such opinions.

What's the point? Breggin is not a Scientologist, and he has his own
reasons for disliking the Scientologists.

Ok. Even if he were certified, it would necessarily make him right
about anything.

In addition to Barkely's discection of Breggin's books, and Schaler showing
of how he lies on the witness stand...

"{Breggin's apparent concern for the welfare of our children is touching,
but it's very disconcerting.

In his book The Psychology of Freedom, Breggin wrote, ". permitting children
to have sex among themselves would go a long way toward liberating them from
oppressive parental authority. This is the main reason that parents fight so
hard to prevent sex between children. Sexual freedom would allow their
children to become truly independent of them."

Pardon me, but I must question the judgment of a psychiatrist who believes
children know what's best when it comes to sex, but challenges whether
parents, teachers and doctors know what's best when it comes to children's
mental health and prescription medication.

It's conceivable that Breggin was just too stupid to note the connection
linking The Prozac Survivors Support Group, the CCHR, and the Church of
Scientology. Conceivable, but not very likely. It's also conceivable that
Breggin didn't know where all that money came from to pay for his "expert
witness" testimony in the "Prozac-made-me-do-it" lawsuits (he earned $45,000
in fees in just one lawsuit). Again, conceivable, but not very likely. Diane

---------------------------------

Breggin is not certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology,
which is the recognized agency for certifying psychiatrists.
Having completed three years of psychiatric training, Breggin is entitled to
call himself a psychiatrist or a "specialist in psychiatry." Until 1996, the
Maryland Board of Quality Assurance maintained a list of "identified"
specialists. Anyone who completed an approved training program was eligible
for listing. No special examination or additional qualifications were
required.
To become licensed in the United States, every physician must pass an
examination given by the National Board of Medical Examiners or an
equivalent examination by a state licensing board. Thus being a "diplomate"
of the National Board of Medical Examiners means nothing more than the fact
that the doctor has passed a standard licensing exam. Most resum?s I have
seen do not list this credential.
The American Board of Forensic Examiners is not recognized by the American
Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), which is the recognized
standard-setting organization. ABMS offers subspecialty certification in
forensic psychiatry and forensic pathology, neither of which Breggin has
achieved.
Only one of the six journals with which Breggin has been affiliated is
significant enough to be listed in MEDLINE, the National Library of
Medicine's principal online database.
On September 5, 2002, I found that Breggin had 33 citations listed in
MEDLINE. None of these publications appears to be a research report. Eight
were letters to the editor, two were books, and most of the rest were
expressions of his opinion on various psychiatric topics.
