The Critical Psychiatry Network is a network of United Kingdom psychiatrists concerned about coercion and the role of pharmaceutical companies in psychiatry. The group consists of over 350 psychiatrists. Members of the Network exchange ideas and information and have regular meetings and peer support sessions. The Network has held annual conferences since 2013. There is currently an active trainee forum and informal mentorship scheme in the UK and an open reading and discussion group in Toronto, Canada.

Critical psychiatry is a broad critique of mainstream psychiatry that has emerged in recent years which challenges some of psychiatry’s most deeply held assumptions. It mounts a scientific challenge to claims about the nature and causes of mental disorder and the effects of psychiatric interventions, and draws on philosophy, history, anthropology, social science and mental health service users’ experiences. There is no definitive ‘critical psychiatry position.’ It is a collection of critical perspectives intended to produce a more reflective, sceptical and patient-centred approach to the theory and practice of psychiatry.

The association works to disseminate knowledge about evidence-based therapy and values-based practice; to be a voice for the dignity and human rights of patients and their families; and to uphold the rights of psychiatrists where they may be challenged.  Most importantly, it acts to facilitate communication and provide assistance to societies who are isolated or whose members work in impoverished circumstances.
