Kermit Cole, MFT, founding editor of Mad in America, works in Santa Fe, New Mexico as a couples and family therapist. Inspired by Open Dialogue, he works as part of a team and consults with couples and families that have members identified as patients. His work in residential treatment — largely with severely traumatized and/or "psychotic" clients — led to an appreciation of the power and beauty of systemic philosophy and practice, as the alternative to the prevailing focus on individual pathology. A former film-maker, he has undergraduate and master's degrees in psychology from Harvard University, as well as an MFT degree from the Council for Relationships in Philadelphia. He is a doctoral candidate with the Taos Institute and the Free University of Brussels. You can reach him at [email protected].

  1. I love this, Kermit! I am working on something for YouTube, burning the DSM with some audio clips of radio shows that I just permission to use. In the words of Ted Chabasinski, this is how we “take the power away from psychiatry”, one creatively maladjusted project at a time! Strong work, thanks for all you do to promulgate madpride and peer support in this beautiful movement. – Dianne
