ABSTRACT

In London PNP grew rapidly at once. The word got around that we were functioning, whatever we were, and hundreds came to find out about this new alternative to psychiatry. Actually there was almost nothing to see or find, since those who came looking were PNP. The network was the people in it, that was all. For some this took a bit of swallowing, for solutions are usually looked for outside us. If we can’t find it here, it must be over there. For this reason some central members were inveigled into giving a kind of therapy, but always I think with the proviso that whatever was suggested or expressed was mere opinion, without special status or authority, but no doubt some words were seized on as guides and testaments.
