Hi Seth, I was watching Psychiatry - Instrument of Death, and at end pf part 8, I saw a video you gave. It is so powerful--in 3 parts--i was transfixed. What you are saying is full of love. However, I would like to ask you this: How do you see the new psychedelic therapies, in the psychiatric world. I have read some shrinks who are doing this with people still use same old jargon as 'chronic mental illness' etc! Also, about your belief in Judeo-Christianity. As you know many women, ecofeminists, radical feminists, and males too, pagans, see the Church as being patriarchal, and that the roots of this secular nightmare seem to have ROOTS in this theocracy from our past. For example, Thomas Szasz shows similarites between Church dogma and its Inquisitions with psychiatric history in his book, The Manufacture of Madness Earlier this evening, I had watched a BBC2 documentary where this Christian minister goes round the world experiencing other faiths, including pagan. Tonight he joined a witch's coven, and he struggled with joining on, and had to leave early because he said "I am a minister. I do not worship nature. I worship 'God'" And in that statement, for me, it shows the eptiome of the Christian belief system. He had also been to Australia with romantic notions of being introduced by the Aborigenees to The Dreamtime rituals, but found that they had been converted to Christian faith, and their rituals were now hollow, and he said how "upset" he was. So he seems in contradiction So I really would love to know your thoughts about this?



You are an insult to the profession how could you bring Jeff on Howard Stern and have him fullfill his fetish. You are a sell out and a hack who couldnt treat a cold.... Screw You Jeff

by the way..i wrote the comment below this one....my email is piro133a@aol.com. my name is michael gaudio

I have just begun reading your book, Madness, heresy, and the Rumor of Angels. It seems interesting to me. i have only just begun to read this book, but i am seeing similiarities between its content, and my own life. I wish i could talk to you more in detail, and ask you questions. It would be nice to have a professional person tell my family that perhaps it is not "me" that is the problem. just yesterday I got a call from my grandmother, (a very loving and crazily worried woman)the first thing she started to really talk about was "We just need to get you medicated, and everything will be ok". It makes me want to cry, as much as it makes me want to laugh. In all, i wish i had someone to relate all this too. anyway, thankyou.

I agree all too well… I’ve first become very observant of Dr. Szasz’s and Dr. Breggin’s writtings and yours when our family was going through transitional existential and cultural difficulties which began when we realized our eldest son was not being intellectually challenged in his Ardsley (Westchester, N.Y.) high school…I hold his school’s administration ( not the teachers) responsible for much of the mistreatment that occurred. Thanks to the readings of Drs. Szasz’s and Breggin’s including yours I’ve managed to find the strengh to empower myself and my son by pulling him out of the school’s quick-sandbox… So, I’m ever gratefull for your cohesive efforts to keep the “Establishments” from pushing their “bright” pupils into their dead ends… And I wish to know how I can help prevent other kids (including my other junior high son) from possibly falling into their shool’s same destructive blind alleys … - Viviane Marescot-02/06/08

Hello Mr Farber. My question is whether or not you are still in touch with the gentleman whom we all witnessed on the Howard Stern Show enjoying the vomit of a young lady. Now I myself do not enjoy vomit or any other crazy such things, but my what an interesting fellow! Portly, yes. But interesting indeed!

Hello Mr. Farber, I couldn't e-mail you through the website, so this is the only thing I could click on that would let me write. Hope that's cool? Anyway, I wanted to ask you how one could most effectively contact counselors in the Los Angeles area who come from the same point of view as you. I am a struggling counselor seeking to escape from the mainstream counseling b.s., and wanting to genuinely help people become free. Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thanks Matt Robbins. p.s. my e-mail is mjrobbinster@gmail.com and my phone is 310-633-3239. Peace

Dear Dr. Farber, Please let me introduce myself. My name is Elaine Phipps-earl and i am a mature aged (54 years young;)) doing my thesis for Honours in Philosophy, answering the question "Is mental Illness an illness or a set of illnesses and if so what are their characteristics?" I am honoured to quote u in my thesis. However, my Supervisor has asked me not only to quote full names of those i reference, but also their birth/death e.g. Pierre Deniker (1917- ). I would be extremely greatful if u could please email me - lizral@ozemail.com.au with your year of birth. Have tried to trace it on the net, but was unable to find it. Anxiously waiting to hear from u. Kind Regards and Best Wishes Elaine (Brisbane, Australia)

Please could someone tell me what year Dr. Seth Farber was born and if he is still alive ?

Seth, I liked your old Website too and I am happy you sent me this new address to include on my own list.The new Site is very easy on the eyes for reading and I like the updated photo of you; though it was a bit of a shock after all these years! Keep adding to it. Patricia Lefave, Canada

The way political whistle blowers in this society...are sometimes hounded to madness....by the agents of repression and terror....strikes me as SO SIMILAR to the way "disturbed" people are labeled and dismissed and then often tortured into inertness.
The truth is sometimes the greatest enemy.
But the movement to liberate truth itself...is the most noble endeavor anyone can undertake. Thank you Seth, for your great contributions.

Any questions can be addressed to me at seth17279@aol.com. Someone said there was no email listed--there is a link toi my emailm at right bottom, as well as phone/ Thank you. Seth Farber
