President, CCHR United States

Mr. Wiseman is an educator with a Masters Degree cum laude from California State University at San Jose and is a former chairman of the Department of History at John F. Kennedy University.

A renowned human rights advocate, he has testified before judicial and legislative bodies across the United States about psychiatric human rights abuses in the fields of mental health, education and the courts. In 2002 he testified before the Government Reform Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives about coercive psychiatric drug practices involving schoolchildren. The hearing prompted federal legislation, The Child Medication Safety Act, which prohibits children being forced onto psychiatric drugs as a requisite for their education.

Mr. Wiseman authored the book, Psychiatry: The Ultimate Betrayal, reviewed as an “absolutely first-rate social, political, and perhaps above all intellectual history of a crucial component of 20th Century…civilization.” He also wrote a report, “Psychiatry and the Creation of Senseless Violence,” about the correlation between psychiatric drugs and school violence. It led to a Colorado ad hoc legislative inquiry into this issue in 1999.

He has also been widely acknowledged for his insightful hosting of the nationally syndicated radio talk show, Take America Back.

Mr. Wiseman serves as the Private Sector Co-Chairman for the National Foundation of Women Legislators (NFWL) sub-committee on Special Education.
