Psychiatric Totalitarianism and the Role of Psychiatry in Nazi Germany.

This talk (below) took place in Harlem in the early 1990s at a time when Dr. Peter Breggin was blowing the whistle on and conducting a campaign against the racist eugenic program commonly known as the Federal Violence Initiative.

He describes the roots of biological, genetic and racist psychiatry in Nazi Germany. He tells of the grim history of the organized murder of Germany’s mental patients. He also shows how the American Psychiatric Association supported the killing of mentally challenged children in the United States.
