THURSDAY, AUGUST 13, 2015 THE “INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION” OF PSYCHIATRY: A CONVERSATION WITH AUTHORS OF PSYCHIATRY UNDER THE INFLUENCE We present at this link an interview with the authors of _Psychiatry Under the Influence_Here's a snippet
> BRUCE LEVINE: _PSYCHIATRY UNDER THE INFLUENCE_ ATTEMPTS TO > UNDERSTAND PSYCHIATRY’S DENIAL AND REFUSAL TO ACCEPT BLAME FOR ITS > FAILURES. SO, FOR EXAMPLE, RONALD PIES, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF > _PSYCHIATRIC TIMES_, REFUSES TO BLAME PSYCHIATRY FOR THE > DISSEMINATION OF THE DISPROVEN CHEMICAL IMBALANCE THEORY OF MENTAL > ILLNESS (WHICH FUELED THE DRAMATIC RISE OF ANTIDEPRESSANT USE). PIES> CLAIMS
>
> THAT THE CHEMICAL IMBALANCE THEORY “WAS ALWAYS A KIND OF URBAN > LEGEND—NEVER SERIOUSLY PROPOUNDED BY WELL-INFORMED > PSYCHIATRISTS,” AND HE BLAMES AMERICANS’ WIDESPREAD BELIEF IN IT > ON DRUG COMPANIES. YOU ATTRIBUTE MUCH OF PSYCHIATRY’S DENIAL AND > EVASION OF RESPONSIBILITY TO “COGNITIVE DISSONANCE THEORY”—CAN > YOU SPEAK ABOUT THIS?>
> ROBERT WHITAKER: Again, this is part of the “institutional > corruption” lens we were using to study the institution of > psychiatry and its behavior. The assumption is that individuals > within the institution can’t see that their behavior has been > corrupted by “economies of influence.” And so, when those > outside the institution begin pointing out the corruption in it, > those within it may construct a narrative that protects their > self-image. In this case, psychiatrists need to protect their image > as honest researchers and as physicians who put the interests of > their patients first. Cognitive dissonance theory reveals that there > are a myriad of ways that people protect themselves in this manner.>
> We can see that cognitive dissonance quite clearly in Ronald Pies’ > claim that the “chemical imbalance” theory was always a kind of > urban legend. The fact that psychiatrists, for a long period of > time, regularly told patients that the drugs fix chemical imbalances > in the brain represented a fundamental betrayal of those patients. > So once the chemical imbalance story fell apart publicly, what does > Pies do? Does he admit, even in his own mind, that psychiatrists > told this false story to patients for decades? No, he says > well-informed psychiatrists never said it, and places the blame on > the pharmaceutical companies for telling that false story. Pies > makes this argument even though it is easy to document that the > leaders of the APA often told this chemical imbalance story to the > public, and that, even today, many prominent psychiatrists serve on > advisory boards of patient advocacy groups that continue to tell it> to the public.
>
> LISA COSGROVE: One of my favorite quotes is by Carol Tavris: > “Mistakes were made, but not by me.” None of us are immune to > cognitive dissonance. It is part of the human condition to have > implicit biases and remain blissfully ignorant of them.Worth the read

Psychiatric Hospital MONDAY, AUGUST 03, 2015 PAUL CORONA, 'GURU' DOCTOR OF MOOD-STABILIZING DRUGS ON PROBATION FORSECOND TIME
From the Orange County Register > A doctor who described himself in an Orange County Register > investigation as the “guru” of mood-stabilizing drugs has been > put on probation for the second time by state medical regulators.>
> The Medical Board of California put Laguna Niguel physician Paul > Corona on a five-year probation Friday for gross negligence in > treating five patients and failing to maintain adequate medical > records. He was also put on probation in 2009 after suffering a > psychotic breakdown.>
> Corona, _WHO DESCRIBED HIMSELF TO THE REGISTER AS THE MOST PROLIFIC > PRESCRIBER OF MOOD-STABILIZING DRUGS ANYWHERE_, is prohibited from > supervising physician assistants during his probation.>
> Jodi Barber, whose son, Jarrod, overdosed in 2010 on a mixture of > drugs, some prescribed by Corona, said the state was too lenient. > “This is ridiculous. Remove his license permanently. How many > slaps on the hand is he going to be given?” said Barber of Laguna > Niguel. Her son did not appear to be one of the victims in the state> complaint.
>
> Corona was the subject of a 2011 investigation by the Register into > how doctors overprescribed to teens, fueling a rise in Orange County > overdoses. Coroner records show accidental fatal overdoses have > risen steadily from 130 in 2003 to 291 in 2013. Corona preached the > use of psychotropic drugs to remove the mental traumas that feed> drug addiction.
>
> “I am the top prescriber of psychotropic medications around,” > Corona said. “Ninety-five percent of my patients are very> happy.”
>
> But drug addiction experts questioned Corona’s tactics, saying it > didn’t make sense to use drugs to fight drugs. Dr. Harry > Haroutunian, physician director at the famed Betty Ford Center in > Rancho Mirage, told the Register in 2011 it is especially dangerous > to prescribe drugs with sedative qualities when treating addicts in > an outpatient setting, where they might score more drugs on the> street.
>
> “If he is telling you he is the highest prescriber,” Haroutunian > said, “that would be a dubious distinction by my measuring> stick.”
>
> Corona first came under the state’s attention after Orange County > sheriff’s deputies were sent to his Laguna Niguel home in 2007 to > investigate reports of a man having a psychotic breakdown and > threatening suicide, according to a medical board accusation.>
> “Respondent was acting bizarre and was very aggressive, yelling > and screaming incoherently. The officers had to taser respondent > several times in order to subdue him,” said the report by the > medical board. Corona was hospitalized for nearly a month for > psychological observation.>
> It was the same year that he published a book about treating mood > disorders, entitled “Healing the Mind and Body.” In a 2008 > interview with the medical board, Corona said he suffered an episode > of hypomania three years prior. State documents say that he was > prescribed Seroquel by his psychiatrist, but he admitted to > self-medicating from his sample drugs after his psychiatrist moved> away.
>
> “His disorder has impacted his ability to practice safely and led > to his hospitalization for a psychotic breakdown,” the state > complaint said. He was put under suspension for five years in June> 2009.

> Under the latest probation, Corona must take courses in prescribing > practices, medical record keeping, medical ethics and clinical > education. He must also find another physician to monitor him, > according to medical board documents. Posted by Sickmind Fraud at 8/03/2015 08:23:00 PM0 comments

>
> “It is thrilling on one level but kind of sad that it has taken so > long,” said Miami-Dade Judge Steve Leifman of the December 23, > 2014 closure of the jail’s ninth floor. “A lot of people have > been hurt or died up there.” Leifman, as chair of the 11th Circuit > Mental Health Project, has been a long-time advocate for the> mentally ill.
>
> In 2013 alone, three mentally ill prisoners housed on the ninth > floor died. On August 26, Joseph Wilner, 59, was found > “unresponsive” in his cell; jailed for driving on a suspended > license, he was in the unit reserved for the most acute mental> cases.
>
> In July 2013, Leifman was informed of the death of wheelchair-bound > prisoner Joaquin Cairo. An employee with the jail’s diversion > program told the court that Cairo said “someone propositioned him > while in custody and when declined they threw him against the > bed and against the floor.” Cairo suffered a broken pelvis and > died from internal bleeding.>
> “The neglect was despicable. Despicable,” Leifman said. “He > should have been taken to a hospital immediately, and there is > absolutely no excuse.”>
> Three months earlier another psych ward patient, Juan Matos-Flores, > who was considered a suicide risk, died after jailers found him > unresponsive on the floor of his cell. When staff tried to call 911 > they were unable to do so because the phones on the ninth floor were > programmed to block outgoing calls. Instead, employees were forced > to call another floor to get help.>
> “It’s a floor that is specifically designed for people who are > ill. It’s absurd,” Leifman said after learning of the telephone> debacle.
>
> When the ninth floor at the Miami-Dade County Jail closed, some 400 > prisoners were transferred to six newly-refurbished wings at the > Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where the telephones > allow 911 calls and cameras monitor prisoners in every cell.>
>
>
> The Miami-Dade County Jail, the nation’s eighth-largest, has been > under federal monitoring since the U.S. Department of Justice > concluded a three-year investigation in 2011 that found a “pattern > and practice in constitutional violations” of prisoners’ rights > due to deplorable living conditions.>
> Leifman was more blunt, calling conditions on the Forgotten Floor> “horrific.”
>
> “It was not built to be a psychiatric facility. It was built as a > jail for one person, and here two and three people > in there that are very psychotic,” he said.>
> The public got its first glimpse of the infamous floor in 2006 when > Leifman invited a television reporter and camera crew to document > conditions as he guided a tour. “Human beings should not be > treated like this.

MONDAY, JULY 20, 2015 OWNERS OF LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH CLINICS FACE FRAUD CHARGES As Reported in the Philadelphia Business Journal > The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of > Pennsylvania filed a civil health care fraud lawsuit Monday, under > the False Claims Act, against an Allentown husband and wife and > their network of mental health centers funded largely by Medicaid> and Medicare.
>
> The lawsuit names Melchor Martinez and Melissa Chlebowski, both of > Allentown, as defendants and their businesses: Northeast Community > Mental Health Centers in Philadelphia; Lehigh Valley Community > Mental Health Centers in Allentown, Easton and Bethlehem; and North > Carolina Community Mental Health Centers in Raleigh, N.C.>
> The complaint notes Martinez was convicted of Medicaid fraud in 2000 > and, as a result, was excluded from participating in all federally > funded health care programs including Medicaid and Medicare. The > exclusion prohibited Martinez from owning, managing or receiving > payments from any federally funded health care provider.>
> The lawsuit alleges that in spite of the exclusion, Martinez, > assisted by his wife Chlebowski, continued to own and operate the > Northeast and Lehigh Valley clinics, and that, in 2009, while his > exclusion was ongoing, he started up the North Carolina clinic in> Raleigh.
>
> The complaint also says the clinics billed Medicaid for psychiatrist > visits “of very brief duration, sometimes as little as two to > three minutes, while fraudulently representing that patients were > being seen for a 15 minute visit.”>
> The Northeast and Lehigh Valley clinics allegedly billed Medicaid > and Medicare for the services of “therapists” who were not > qualified to provide mental health services, and fraudulently billed > Medicare for therapy services allegedly provided without the > required supervision.>
> The complaint did not specify the damages being sought by the> government.
>
> The matter was investigated by the U.S. Department of Health and > Human Services’ Office of Inspector General and the U.S. > Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, with > assistance from the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General and the > North Carolina Department of Justice.

SATURDAY, JULY 18, 2015 THE HOFFMAN REPORT: THE INVESTIGATION INTO THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICALASSOCIATION (APA)
The Hoffman Report is the informal name for the 2015 investigation into the American Psychological Association’s (APA) practices regarding its relaxing of ethical standards for psychologists involved in torture interrogations. The full name for the report is, _Independent Review Relating to APA Ethics Guidelines, National Security Interrogations, and Torture_. It was authored by attorneys David Hoffman, Danielle Carter, Cara Viglucci Lopez, Heather Benzmiller, Ava Guo, Yasir Latifi and Daniel Craig of the law firm,Sidley Austin, LLP.
It was an extensive investigation spanning 6 months that reviewed over 50,000 documents and conducted over 200 interviews with 148 people. The report notes that, _“Although most individuals were quite cooperative and willing to meet with us, that sentiment was not universal, and there were several individuals who declined to meet with us or did not respond to ourrequests.”_
Also,
_“This inquiry is made more difficult by the amount of time that has elapsed since the important events occurred. The key events relating to the APA task force report occurred 10 to 11 years ago, and the events relating to the ethics code revision occurred 13 to 19 yearsago.”_
The independent investigation resulted in a 542-page final report. It is available for download here Independent Review Relating to APA Ethics Guidelines, National Security Interrogations, and Torture(PDF)

THURSDAY, JULY 16, 2015 ANOTHER ETHICS SCANDAL FOR THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA DEPT. OFPSYCHIATRY
From a Report on Fox 9 News Video available at the link > The University of Minnesota has another ethics scandal on its > hands. And once again it involves the Department of Psychiatry. This > latest case of research misconduct involves falsifying records.>
> Dr. Ken Winters is a Psychologist who has worked at the U of M for > 26 years. He was about to begin a new study for the National > Institute on Drug Abuse on ways to stop teenagers from taking drugs, > but before proceeding, a University review board wanted Winters to > get something in writing from the federal government.>
> It would have been a legal document that would protect researchers > from having to disclose confidential information about study > participants should those participants ever get into trouble with > the law. Winters told the Fox 9 Investigators he got tired of > waiting for the paperwork to arrive so he falsified his own version > and turned it in to the University so the study could begin.>
> He declined an on camera interview but agreed to have his voice> recorded.
>
> "Poor judgement on my part," Winters said. "It was a terrible thing > I did, so I have no real explanation. I've got no defense. My own > stupidity, poor judgement.">
> Winters also said within hours of turning in the phony documents, he > fessed up after being approached by concerned staff members. His > misconduct is yet another slam for the school's Department of> Psychiatry.
>
> Earlier this spring, a legislative audit, prompted by a Fox 9 > Investigation, found serious ethical concerns and conflicts of > interest relating to the death of a research participant in a Psych > Department drug trial.>
> "It is a serious ethical breach. It is another indication that there > are issues and problems in the drug trials at the University > Department of Psychiatry that need attention," Legislative Auditor > Jim Nobles said.>
> The National Institute on Drug Abuse told the Fox 9 Investigators > "it takes allegations of research misconduct seriously." But > wouldn't comment on what, if anything, it’s doing about this case.>

> Winters said he hasn't been disciplined by the University for > falsifying the document. Instead, he was given the option to retire > at the end of the month. Posted by Sickmind Fraud at 7/16/2015 05:13:00 PM0 comments
