Episode Synopsis
RESISTING ILLEGITIMATE AUTHORITY is a powerful interview with Dr. Bruce E. Levine, a clinical psychologist and author, often at odds with the mainstream of his profession.

Dr. Levine is a regular contributor to CounterPunch, Truthout, Salon, AlterNet, TakePart, Z Magazine, OpEdNews, and the Huffington Post. His articles and interviews have been published in the New York Times, Skeptic, Adbusters, The Ecologist and High Times.
He is also on the editorial advisory board of the journal Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry, and he is on the medical and scientific advisory board of the National Center for Youth Law. He is also an editorial advisor for the Icarus Project/Freedom Center Harm Reduction Guide to Coming off Psychiatric Drugs as well as a member of MindFreedom and the International Society for Ethical Psychology & Psychiatry.
Dr. Levine and I talked about how he sees ADHD from a bird's eye view, how tension is really the driver of an ADHD diagnosis and how parents need to start questioning - and at times resisting - illegitimate authorities. Well, I'm sure you might be asking "How do I know that an authority is illegitimate?"
Listen in for yourself to hear how to think for yourself and how to recognize when authorities lack transparency and true interest in the mental health of our children when it comes to ADHD.
