• The Mental Health Movement:  Persecution of Patients?  Dr. M. Hooper  
  This excellent article by Dr. Hooper reveals disturbing insights into the Wessely School of Thought - psychosomatic disorder (it's all in your head) and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) - just change your attitude and you will be fine.  Although not as prominent in Canada, we do have many psychiatrists that adhere to this way of thinking.   This contents of this article will alert you to the importance of getting the Consensus Documents in the hand of physicians.  Please give a copy of the Consensus Document to your doctor, medical school library, etc.
