Mental Health Screening. How Will It Affect Your Children? by Dennis L. Cuddy

The impetus for this book has been the recommendation of
President George W. Bush's New Freedom Commission on
Mental Health that all Americans, and especially children,
receive mental health screenings.
In the past, whenever there was controversial
congressional legislation regarding* children, it was easy to
introduce and pass provisions in the bills requiring parental
consent. However, recent attempts by U.S. Rep. Ron Paul
to require parental consent for, and prohibit funding of,
mental health screenings failed. This leads many to wonder
whether there may be a larger agenda at work here, and it
is in this new book that this larger agenda, its background,
and its future implications, are explored.
