Campaign Against Psychiatric Abuse was a group that was founded by Soviet dissident Viktor Fainberg[1] in April 1975 and participated in the struggle against political abuse of psychiatry in the Soviet Union from 1975 to 1988.[2]
The Campaign involved national and international medical bodies[3] to reveal the monstrous abuse of human rights through the misuse of psychiatry.[4]
