Ivor tells us:

✓ How Seeking Happiness is the Sure Way Not To Be Happy.

✓ How One of The Root Causes of Mental Illness is Lack of Love of the Self.

✓ How We Are on The Verge of Real Break Throughs with The Expansion of Consciousness.

✓ How the Definition of Insanity is Doing The Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting a Different Result.

✓ How Weeping and Crying Are Actually One of The Ways We Heal.

✓ And How No Real Change Can Happen Until Each Person Works on Themselves.

Dr. Ivor Browne is a retired Irish psychiatrist, author, former Chief Psychiatrist of the Eastern Health Board, and Professor emeritus of psychiatry at University College Dublin. He is known for his opposition to traditional psychiatry, and his scepticism about psychiatric drugs.

As Chief Psychiatrist for the Eastern Health Board Ivor tried to reform the Irish mental health system but faced enormous opposition from those who couldn't accept his unorthodox methods. He mistrusted traditional psychiatry's dependence on drugs;

It was Ivor who stood by Ross Hamilton and his mother Phyllis when Fr. Michael Cleary's family, friends and Church abandoned them and refused to believe they were Cleary's family. Ross calls him 'a life saver'. "If he didn't speak out for us back then maybe no one would have taken us seriously at all." Ivor suffered the consequences from the Medical Council for taking such a stand.
