Al Siebert short bio:

Al Siebert received his M.A. and PhD. in clinical psychology from the  
University of Michigan. Al is a psychiatric survivor and calls his  
story the "Marvelous Menninger Adventure." He has been a strong  
advocate for the human rights of people who considered to be "mental  
patients" for many years.

Dr. Siebert:

** is author of professional journal articles about the ways that  
psychiatry misrepresents what is known about "schizophrenia."

** is project director of the "Weller Than Well" research project  
searching for people made stronger by their so-called "psychotic"  
experiences.

** serves on Advisory Council for International Center for the Study  
of Psychiatry and Psychology, founded by Peter Breggin.

** hosts the popular Successful Schizophrenia website.

** is author of A SCHIZOPHRENIA BREAKTHROUGH: Progress Toward Freeing  
Our Minds from Our Minds. A textbook for graduate students with  
"Issues for Critical Thinking and Research." Foreword by William  
Glasser, M.D.

In addition to the above, Dr. Siebert is internationally recognized  
for his research into the inner nature of highly resilient survivors.  
His most recent book, The Resiliency Advantage, is winner of the  
"2006 Best Self-Help Book" award.
