FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 9, 2010 -- The Center for the Study of Empathic Therapy, Inc (C-SET) has been accepted by the State of New York as a registered nonprofit corporation. Informally known as Empathictherapy.org and The Empathic Therapy Center, the organization was founded earlier this year by Peter R. Breggin, MD and his wife, Ginger.

The Center already has a growing general membership, working websites, an active online social network, and an e-newsletter with 1500 subscribers. The Center has announced its first annual conference to be held April 8-10, 2011 at the Embassy Suites in Syracuse, New York.

"We have founded the Empathic Therapy Center to inspire therapists and counselors, educators and advocates from various fields to reach beyond the simplistic and dehumanizing psychiatric diagnosis and the blunting drugs that follow,” said Ginger Breggin, Executive Director.

“I want to help my colleagues and fellow therapists and counselors to bring out the best in themselves and to strive for the human, caring and empowering approaches that seek and inspire genuine and person-centered solutions for all those who feel the need to health from emotional wounds,” said Dr. Peter Breggin.

The Center for the Study of Empathic Therapy will carry forward Dr. Breggin’s effort of more than 40 years to reform psychiatry and offer extensive information on the damaging and dehumanizing effects of psychiatry, according to the Breggins.

“Our Empathic Therapy Center is already highlighting an increased focus on better ways in which we as professionals can help those who are in emotional crisis or going through emotional trauma,” said Dr. Breggin.

“We have a special Founding Membership rate for those who will come and join us, Ginger Breggin said. “We have so many folks coming forward to join us as we seek fresh, human-centered solutions to age old emotional pains—I hope those learning about us now will become part of this exciting new movement!”
