DESCRIPTION:\n	Description:\n\n\n\n	Psychiatric diagnosis is completely unreg
 ulated and is widely — and unjustifiably — believed to be solidly grounded
  in science\, to help reduce human suffering\, and to expose psychiatrical
 ly labeled people to no harm. Dr. Paula J. Caplan resigned from two commit
 tees involved in revising the diagnostic manual when she learned that none
  of the above was true. Over the decades\, she became aware of thousands o
 f stories of people whose lives were destroyed\, including through loss of
  a vast array of their human rights\, by events that began with and were '
 justified' by their being diagnosed. Her activism to prevent such harm tak
 es a variety of forms\, ranging from advising labeled individuals and thei
 r therapists about what they can do to advocating for massive systemic cha
 nges.\n\n\n\n	&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n	Dr. Paula J. Caplan:&nbsp\;\n\n\n\n	Paula J. Ca
 plan\, Ph.D.\, is a clinical and research psychologist\, currently an Asso
 ciate at the DuBois Institute of the Hutchins Center for African and Afric
 an American Research at Harvard\, and she is a former Fellow at the Harvar
 d Kennedy School's Women and Public Policy Program. She served for two yea
 rs on the Task Force that was revising the manual of psychiatric diagnosis
  before she resigned on moral\, ethical\, and professional grounds when sh
 e learned the truth about the dangerous myths related to the diagnoses and
  found that those in charge resisted becoming open about the truth. She wr
 ote an exposé of all this called They Say You're Crazy: How the World's Mo
 st Powerful Psychiatrists Decide Who's Normal\, followed by her edited boo
 k\, Bias in Psychiatric Diagnosis. Her stage play\, CALL ME CRAZY\, won on
 e of the top prizes in the Arlene and William National Playwriting Contest
  for Women and had a rave-reviewed Off-Off-Broadway production. She is the
  author of 10 other books and an award winning documentary filmmaker.&nbsp
 \;A playwright\, filmmaker\, and actor\, she will combine lecture with per
 formance of excerpts from her award winning play\, CALL ME CRAZY\, followe
 d by discussion with those who attend.\n\n
