[edit] Breggin
this web page says that Breggin has not had anything to do with the CCHR since 1974. it implies that he had knowingly worked with a Church of Scientology front group called the Prozac Survivors Support Group, Inc., when he has said otherwise. the article had implied a close and recent collaboration rather than a long-ago and perhaps accidental one.
My source for the above information
[edit] Where's the money trail lead?
The article on CCHR, is typical of Wikipedia. Articles on CCHR and Scientology are rife with barbs and invalidations and articles on psychiatry speak in such unrealistic glowing praises, it raises the question "why?" To call psychiatry a "hard science" is so laughable, I bet even the shrinks can't believe Wiki had the nerve to actually publish such a falacy. So, in my opinion, Wiki is incredibly naive and oblivious on the one hand and compulsively biased on the other out of sheer ignorance, or there are "other forces" at work here.
Is there anyway to view the funding sources for Wikipedia???

- You're seeing a conspiracy where none exists. Psychiatry is supported by the vast majority of articles on the subject in reliable sources. Many of the same reliable sources are, as you say, "rife with barbs and invalidations" on Scientology. I'm sorry, but Scientology is viewed in an overwhelmingly negative light in the lion's share of media about it, and at Wikipedia we have to rely on the standards of verifiability and reliability established by that media, as we rely on them for citations.
- Beyond that... Don't be silly. Wikipedia is vast and diverse, with Scientology and Psychiatry articles accounting for some ridiculously small percentage of its content. Perhaps Wikipedia is taking bribes from atheists for labeling Creationism non-scientific, or maybe it's taking money from some shadowy cabal of Muslims for portraying Israel as controversial, or maybe it's taking money from Marvel Comics to keep Marvel superhero articles more up-to-date than DC superhero articles... See how absurd this is? --GoodDamon 16:21, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

- Talk pages are not forums. Discussion should be focused specifically on this article, not on psychiatry or wikipedia funding sources. Wikipedia related questions should be asked somewhere like the help desk. -- Scarpy (talk) 19:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] No mention of critics of the CCHR?
I find very few mentions in this article reguarding critics of the CCHR. It seems to me that this article leans in a very positive standpoint towards an organization that is a known front group to funnel those with mental illness away from peer-reviewed psychiatric and psychological treatment and into Scientology funded, unreviewed and sometimes unhealthy treatment methods. This seems like a very biased article according to WP:POV. 198.254.16.200 (talk)chanceemtiv
