RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The use of physical and mechanical restraints should be outlawed.
Until this occurs, any psychiatric staff member�and the psychiatrist
who authorized the procedure�should be criminally culpable should
the restraint result in physical damage or death.
2. Anyone who has been abused, assaulted or falsely imprisoned by a psychiatrist
or other mental health practitioner should file a complaint with the police
and send a copy of the complaint to CCHR.
3. Press for criminal charges and file additional complaints with medical,
psychological or regulatory agencies that can investigate and revoke a psychiatrist�s
or psychologist�s license to practice.
4. If you or a relative or friend have been falsely imprisoned in a psychiatric
facility, assaulted, abused or damaged by a mental health practitioner, seek
attorney advice about filing a civil suit against any offending psychiatrist
and his or her hospital, associations and teaching institutions for compensatory
and punitive damages. Let CCHR know about your situation. Fill out and email the Abuse Case Investigation Form found
by clicking HERE. CCHR will assist
you while protecting your confidentiality.
5. Legal protections should be put in place to ensure that psychiatrists and
psychologists are prohibited from violating the right of any person to exercise
all civil, political, economic, social, religious and cultural rights as recognized
in the Constitution, in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and in other relevant civil or human
rights instruments.
6. The pernicious influence of psychiatry has wreaked havoc throughout society,
especially in hospitals, educational systems and prisons. Citizens groups
and responsible government officials should work together to expose and
abolish psychiatry�s hidden manipulation of society.
THE
CITIZENS COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS
investigates and exposes psychiatric violations of human rights. It works
shoulder-to-shoulder with like-minded groups and individuals who share
a common purpose to clean up the field of mental health. We shall continue
to do so until psychiatry�s abusive and coercive practices cease and human
rights and dignity are returned to all.
