“Babies Need Mothers”

Dr. McKenzie’s new book is a rare example of careful conceptual reasoning about basic categories in medicine. Ultimately this is what is sorely needed in rational thinking about the mysteries of mental illness. This book is a fascinating contribution and well worth reading, precisely because it upsets the applecart. I recommend it to anyone who wants to get beyond rigid categorization in psychiatry and look at enduring problems of the mind in new ways.

Psychiatry has become, in my opinion, too much of the idea of merely “drugs and observations,” and of course this pattern can be considered in relation to the profits made by the companies developing and selling the drugs. I endorse broader considerations in psychiatry, such as Dr. McKenzie proposes.

Dr. McKenzie’s book is revolutionary. Some long sought answers to causes of psychosis and other severe mental illnesses are explained in clear and understandable language. He not only describes cause and effect, but also provides remedies for healing that are unique and long lasting. He shows clearly and unmistakably the way to recover health, and his findings could change the prevailing way of treating chronic mental difficulties.

Old theories of modern science literally melt away before the riveting and crystal clear logic that erases any thought of current hypotheses.

Dr. Stephen Levine, Scientist, Author

This book is rich in new ideas that are a further development of the enlightening, stimulative and provocative ideas described in his earlier book with Lance S. Wright, MD: Delayed Posttraumatic Stress Disorders from Infancy: The Two Trauma Mechanism. I have used this latter book in my courses at Georgetown University and I plan to continue to use the ideas of Dr. McKenzie in my classes. No one will regret reading this book.

It is more effective to teach people how to drive safely than to repair smashed cars. Likewise, it is more effective to teach parents how to prevent mental illness in their children than to repair their damaged lives. Modern psychiatry is concerned with the treatment of mental diseases and disorders. Now, in his breakthrough research, Dr. McKenzie has identified the origin of serious mental and emotional disorders, and has discovered how mothers, through a loving and caring approach, can actually prevent these illnesses from ever occurring. Just as Albert Einstein’s contributions were a quantum leap beyond Newtonian physics, so Dr. McKenzie’s contribution to understanding cause is a quantum leap beyond present theories. This allows for true prevention for the first time.

My research for a movie brought my attention to Dr. McKenzie. Like many persons ahead of their time, Dr. McKenzie is sometimes viewed as a threat to others in his field. This is unfortunate because clearly his means of prevention could eliminate a very large portion of mental illness in this country and worldwide. His work is readily understood by professionals and laypersons alike. He has received high endorsements from members of the US Senate and Congress. A number of top professionals, who thoroughly reviewed his work, consider his findings to represent one of the greatest breakthroughs in psychiatry in the second half of the 20th Century.

What is schizophrenia? Is it one thing or a combination of important issues beginning at the earliest part of life? Dr. McKenzie pulls together in a brilliant manner the issues comprising schizophrenia and gives us a greater understanding of the condition. I have been treating this condition for 54 years, and Dr. McKenzie has offered me a better understanding of the issues. I think this book is a must for the profession. Rarely mentioned elsewhere, is the importance of caring (loving) by the psychotherapist. I thought this was the basic issue, and Dr. McKenzie makes a special point of it.

This book is a ‘tour de force’ in its originality, basic scientific and biological approach, and its potential for preventive treatment of psychosis.
