Meeting Description
For our February General Meeting, we will be joined by Dr. Rosenlicht, a leading psychiatrist who seeks to transform our understanding of mental health care and how it fits into larger social and economic forces. He proposes an effective and compassionate new framework for healing. He will introduce his book, “My Brother’s Keeper.” Timely and unflinching, and written with commanding prose and the deep knowledge of a mental health care veteran who categorically rejects corporate interests.
Dr. Rosenlicht makes plain the disastrous outcomes of the for-profit mental health care model. We will leave time for a Q&A after his presentation.
