John Read on schizophrenia…

photo on John Read.

Schizophrenia doesn’t exist the psychologist and professor at Auckland University, New Zealand says. In this article it also stands what Read thinks about the pharmacological industry's interests...

Critical article about him (I have only read this swiftly). From a site in New Zealand called "Masculinist Evolution New Zealand - promoting a clearer understanding of men's experience"... Other articles on this site are about "Causalities of Sexual Allegations", "Overview over Sexual hysteria in New Zealand"...

Also see this from the University of Bristol (in UK), where they were glad to introduce Read…

They write:

“We are fortunate to be able to invite you to hear a leading international researcher into the role of trauma in psychosis. John Read is a clinical psychologist and lecturer from New Zealand, whose ideas may be familiar to you from the recent articles by Oliver James in the Guardian, 2005. He will describe his work, which has been described as 'an earthquake shaking the intellectual foundations of psychiatry.' Lucy Johnstone will introduce the debate by summarising some of the main issues that are raised. Please join us for a lively, controversial and stimulating debate, which has implications for all clinicians.

John Read is a clinical psychologist and associate professor in the department of psychology at The University of Auckland. He is the author of several articles and book chapters on trauma and psychosis, and is co-editor of Models of Madness: Psychological, Social and Biological Approaches to Schizophrenia (Brunner-Routledge, 2004).”
