Age of Fear: Psychiatry's Reign of Terror

2012Movie

Documentary

From instilling fear in asylum inmates with brutal treatments, to the modern application of restraint, senseless drugging and electroshock, psychiatrists have a long and hidden history of force, intimidation and outright terror. This is where Germany enters the picture, for it was here that psychiatry was born, here where psychiatry was nurtured and grew, and here where psychiatry would commit one of the world's most horrific atrocities.
