About the Author
Crawford Harris was born at the bottom
of a mountain top in Tennessee, in a
little town that produced the Scopes
"Monkey" Trial and not much else. He
was homeless way back in the 1950s,
before it became so popular. He has
too much education for his own good
and too little reverence for the powers-
that-be for their own good.
In addition to researcher and writer,
Crawford's experience covers many
areas. He has been an advocate and
lobbyist for nonprofits for the mentally ill, served as field
director for the National Institute of Mental Health and has a
consulting firm in the field. He does volunteer work with the mentally
ill in prisons and those on the street.
His labors in other fields are varied. Crawford was an assembler
language programmer, a foreign correspondent, a professional
photographer and computer dealer. He held elective public offices,
wrote for an academic journal and worked in intelligence.
Additionally, he has held licenses as a radio technician, pilot and real
estate broker.
This appears to be an extreme example of someone not knowing
what he wants to be when he grows up. The problem is that, at his
advanced age, he has a limited amount of time to settle on
something.
Important
When someone questions the
honesty and integrity of the
drug companies and the value
of their psychopharmaceuticals,
the first line of defense is to
smear the messenger as being
affiliated with Scientology.
Nothing could be further from
the truth with the author.
The author's only recollected
connection with Scientology
was more than 40 years ago.
One of his 130 employees at
that time was a member. On a
couple of occasions the
employee brought up the
subject. Crawford's response
was that he was being paid to
work, not to proselytize. He
considers Scientology to be a
dangerous scam.
The next approach is to paint
the poor benighted soul as one
who denies the existence of
mental illness. The book makes
such an allegation impossible.
Another line of attack is to
portray one who refuses to
worship at their feet as a
Luddite - someone who is
against all scientific progress.
Crawford has held many
patents and the book is the
result of more than a decade of
scientific research.
