MACV SOG INTERVIEWS WITH WARRIORS. COMBAT VETERANS TALK...
Over the years I have become friends with many Vietnam Special Forces MACV SOG men. It has been an honor. First they trusted me to share stories of their war in my publication Pucker Factor stories of MACV SOG. Most of these had never publicly been spoken about. Now I begin a new challenge to get them to speak publicly about their covert lives of being behind enemy lines or engaging the well trained enemy on their own territory. These warriors will not be with us forever. It is important we learn the histories of such men now.

MAD IN AMERICA: RETHINKING MENTAL HEALTH
The Mad in America podcast examines mental health with a critical eye by speaking with psychologists, psychiatrists and people with lived experience. When you hear such conversations, you realise that much of what is believed to be settled in mental health is actually up for debate. Is mental health a matter of faulty biology or is there more to it? Are the treatments used in psychiatry helpful or harmful in the long term? Are psychiatric diagnoses reliable? With the help of our guests, we examine these questions and so much more. This podcast is part of Mad in America’s mission to serve as a catalyst for rethinking psychiatric care and mental health. We believe that the current drug-based paradigm of care has failed our society and that scientific research, as well as the lived experience of those who have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder, calls for profound change. On the podcast over the coming weeks, we will have interviews with experts and those with lived experience of the psychiatric system. Thank you for joining us as we discuss the many issues around rethinking mental health around the world. For more information visit madinamerica.com To contact us email [email protected]
MAD IN IRELAND: FIELDS OF HEALING
We give some indication of the origins and aspirations of this podcast series in our introductory episode. There have always been what are sometimes deemed alternative approaches to understanding emotional distress, mental health issues, extraordinary experiences; and responding to them. Mad In Ireland embraces the post psychiatric new paradigm in mental health, in terms of giving voice to what is collectively embraced within this paradigm. Fields of Healing contributes to this overall expression by showcasing conversations with practitioners who are engaged in fields of healing that respond to life challenges, including those that relate to emotional distress and mental health issues. There is no expectation of contributors conforming to any one understanding of this new paradigm, indeed some may not even have a mental health language though fit the paradigm none the less.
