a woman undergoing electroshock - The International Campaign to Ban Electroshock (ICBE) deems ECT to be unethical, barbaric, inhumane, torture, and a crime against humanity

 

The ICBE is working together with other people and groups to help ban ECT universally.

Sue Clark-Wittenberg and her husband Steven Wittenberg founded the ICBE in 2007 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Sue is an electroshock survivor.  Sue says “There is torture in Canada and it is called electroshock.  It must be banned.   Psychiatry is the biggest medical fraud going on today.

 

 

 

 

 

Ramsey Clark

 "Electroshock is violence"

 

 

- said by Ramsey Clark, former US Attorney General and human rights advocate – invited address to the Annual Meeting of the American Psychiatric Association, New York City (May 1983)  

“Going to a psychiatrist has become one of the

most dangerous things a person can do “

- said by Dr. Peter R Breggin, author of “Toxic Psychiatry”.  See his website:    Breggin.com 

 

 

 

Above is a photo of an electroshock protest organized by Sue Clark-Wittenberg at the Royal Ottawa Hospital on August 24, 1990.

“And a huge part of what psychiatry has done really comes down to torture” — said by Lee Coleman, psychiatrist

 

 

"Psychiatry is probably the single most destructive force that has affected the American society within the last fifty years"

 - said by Dr. Thomas Szasz, Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus,

State University of New York

The ICBE was demanding that all Canadian governments ban electroshock.   Steven and Sue are pacifists and believe in non-violence in our political action activities.  We only organize peaceful ECT protests.

 The ICBE has CANCELLED its May 10th, 2009 ECT protest this year in Ottawa.  The ICBE will hold an ECT protest next year in May 2010. Date and place yet to be determined.

There is proof that ECT always causes brain damage 100% of the time.  See breggin.com for more info.

ECT is not safe and never was and nor are the ECT machines either.

Electroshock is also known as ECT, shock, shock therapy and electroconvulsive therapy.  ECT is still around, it never disappeared.

Statistics for ECTs given yearly are:

Ontario, Canada - 14,000 (approximate) ECTs given yearly

Worldwide - estimated to be 1 to 2 million ECTs given yearly.
