... TeenScreen's Pseudo-Scientific Basis By Doyle Mills Home David Shaffer of Columbia University's psychiatry department led the development of the TeenScreen program, a controversial mental health screening tool. TeenScreen is controversial for a plethora of reasons, including matters of parental rights, the dangers of drugs used to treat symptoms of "mental illness" and suspicious connections of TeenScreen's personnel with the various drug manufacturers that stand to make billions from TeenScreen's success. The controversy on each of these issues could fill a book. Yet, the most interesting thing about TeenScreen is its origin, the science (or lack of science) with which it was developed. TeenScreen certainly wants the public to believe that the program is scientifically based. Their 2004 Annual Review contained no less than NINE instances of the word "science" in its four pages of text. TeenScreen hired Rabin Strategic partners, a New York PR firm, to attempt to make the subject palatable to the public and the schools so they could be sold on the program. Is this overuse of the term "science" just slick marketing from ...

March 9, 2006 http://www.edwatch.org/updates06/030906-SF2841.htm The following testimony may be useful for similar legislation being introduced in legislatures in states across the country. Thank you Mr. Chairman and members of the Committee. My name is Dr. Karen Effrem. I am a mother of three wonderful children, a pediatrician, and a policy analyst that serves on the boards of several national organizations, including EdWatch, the Alliance for Human Research Protection, and the International Center for the Study of Psychiatry and Psychology. I am here in vigorous opposition to SF 2841 that would implement mental health screening for three-year-old children entering public school. Government sponsored and controlled universal mental health screening, no matter how sweetly wrapped in the fig leaf of parental consent, should never, ever be implemented. It is never, EVER, the proper role of government to set norms for, assess or intervene in the thoughts and emotions of free citizens, much less innocent, vulnerable, and still developing children. It is our thoughts and emotions ...

... the most troublesome conflict among teachers and trainers is where to intervene with therapeutic help. If the individual is the patient, he should get the therapy. But what if the patient is the community or a segment of it? "In that case the therapeutic attention should be directed at the real illness, the social injustices afflicting many person. And the intervention should be through'the strategies and tactics of political power' aimed at bringing about sweeping changes in society. "Drs. C. Brooks Brenneis and Dori Laub, psychiatry teachers at Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, Conn., discussed the problems the concepts of community psychiatry have brought to psychiatric science in the journal of the American Psychiatric Association. It is now a major psychiatric endeavor, subsidized by millions in federal mental health funds and concentrated in big city ghettos and other depressed areas.
