Attorney and psychiatric survivor Jim Gottstein joins us to discuss his decades-long fight against forced treatment and psychiatric abuse. As the founder of the Law Project for Psychiatric Rights (PsychRights), Jim has worked to expose the legal and ethical violations at the heart of the mental health system. In this episode, he shares the inside story of The Zyprexa Papers—a landmark case in which he released internal documents from Eli Lilly revealing the company’s efforts to conceal the dangers of its antipsychotic drug, Zyprexa. From legal resistance to pharmaceutical accountability, this conversation traces what it means to challenge psychiatric power from within the system.
