A magazine with articles by, for, and about mental patients, including resources for ex-mental patients and current patients, and personal stories. In this issue there are impressions from several participants of the tenth International Conference on Human Rights and Psychiatric Oppression held in Toronto in May 1982. There are excerpts from testimony given by former psychiatric inmates at a Toronto tribunal on psychiatric crimes, and a panel presentation from the same tribunal. One article discusses the wrongful death suit of Lynette Miller, a 17-year-old who died of cardiac arrest after being given heavy dosages of phenothiazine drugs and undergoing electroshock therapy. Another article discusses the origin of lobotomy, while another has facts about neuroleptics. There are movement notes from around the world, reviews of books and films, and poetry and artwork.
