A Revolution Wobbles: Will Norway's "Medication-Free" Hospital Survive?

A Revolution Wobbles: Will Norway's "Medication-Free" Hospital Survive?

In December 2019, we wrote about the Hurdalsjøen Recovery Center, which is a private psychiatric hospital located about forty minutes north of Oslo, on the banks of stunning Lake Hurdal. The hospital was set up by its director, Ole Andreas Underland, to provide "medication-free" care for those who wanted such treatment or who wanted to taper from their psychiatric drugs.

In this interview, Robert Whitaker talks again with Ole Andreas to understand both the success of this pioneering approach and why this success might threaten its future.
