Ed Sanders ist ein amerikanischer Dichter und Musiker, der als Brücke zwischen der Beat- und der Hippie-Generation gilt. Seine Werke setzen sich häufig mit Themen sozialer Gerechtigkeit und Umweltaktivismus auseinander und zeichnen sich durch rohe Ehrlichkeit und einen avantgardistischen Stil aus. Er verfügt über einen unverwechselbaren, unkonventionellen Ansatz, der die Grenzen zwischen Poesie, Musik und Journalismus verwischt. Sanders' Schreiben spiegelt seinen aktivistischen Geist und seine visionäre Haltung wider, wobei er furchtlos provokative Themen und dunklere Aspekte der Gesellschaft aufgreift.







Ed Sanders, Mitglied der Fugs, erzählt aus der Distanz der Jahrzehnte über die Kultur der sechziger Jahre. Seine amüsanten Geschichten bieten lebendige Einblicke in die psychedelische Musikszene und die Lebensweisen einer Generation, die im "Sommer der Liebe" nach neuen, kreativen Formen des Zusammenlebens strebte.
Do you still need your psychiatric diagnosis? This book will help you decide. A revolution is underway in mental health, as even the authors of diagnostic manuals acknowledge that psychiatric diagnoses lack solid evidence. Consequently, individuals should not be compelled to accept these labels. With many mental health professionals questioning the validity of diagnoses and advocating for a better system, service users and caregivers deserve the same opportunity. This book emphasizes choice, providing essential information for individuals to make informed decisions and explore alternatives if they wish. Rigorously researched and powerfully argued, the book empowers readers with knowledge and resources often absent in statutory care, enabling informed choices. Eleanor Longden from the Psychosis Research Group at the University of Liverpool highlights its value. Lucy Johnstone emphasizes that understanding personal experiences fosters hope and recovery, as she deconstructs psychiatric diagnosis and incorporates personal stories as evidence. Dirk Corstens, a psychiatrist and Chair of Intervoice, praises the book’s message. Gail A. Hornstein, a psychology professor at Mount Holyoke College, describes it as a balanced and clear introduction to the realities of psychiatric diagnosis and the viable alternatives available for those in distress.
