Break on Through: Radical Psychiatry and the American Counterculture, by Lucas Richert

I have not read the book so perhaps I shouldn't be commenting but I have had experience with several approaches to mental health in the seventies and I wonder how someone born in 1979 could be so knowledgeable. I was in private therapy with licensed psychiatric practitioners for several years in the sixties and participated in Gestalt Therapy and EST in the seventies. If my experience is any indicator, private therapy produced minimal results. I got more value in two weekends in the EST Training than I did in years of psychotherapy and I am a firm believer in large group therapy. Too bad the media turned snubbed their collective noses.
