F.E.A.S.T.

"How badly we have done by parents by separating individuals from families,
and blaming families for the problem...
We need to ask for a day of atonement for past care,
and we need to bring families into the picture."
Dr. Thomas Insel Director of the US National Institute of Mental Health 2007
