E. Fuller Torrey, President of Treatment Advocacy Center, Admits He Offered To Testify in Defense of Mother and Sister Who Murdered Their Psychiatrically Disabled Son and Brother

E. Fuller Torrey, founder of the Treatment Advocacy Center and brother of a woman living with schizophrenia, has yet another hate and fear mongering screed out in the Wall Street Journal.  What makes this one a little different is that he writes that he offered to testify in DEFENSE of a mother and sister who murdered their son and brother who was diagnosed with schizophrenia and romanticizes their killing of their disabled, obviously not “loved” one as a noble act akin to a Greek tragedy.  Besides the fact that E. Fuller Torrey clearly suffers from delusions of grandeur, diagnosed or not, the fact that he can get such hate speech, almost inciting to violence in a mainstream paper shows just how far we have to go in overcoming prejudice, ignorance and discrimination against people with psychiatric diagnoses, prejudice made worse every year by E. Fuller Torrey and his Treatment (Hatred) Advocacy Center.  How extreme and out of the mainstream does this man and this advocacy group have to go before decent people disavow and disassociate themselves from it loudly and publicly?
