Dr Lucire was a forensic psychiatrist for over 50 years. Research was the cornerstone of her professional expertise and has formed the basis of Dr Lucire’s current, non-clinical research work in pharmacogenetics, which focusses on why adverse drug reactions occur, and personalised medicine, the safe prescribing practices necessary to ensure that they do not.
Dr Lucire is committed to speaking truth to power – even though power knows the truth, but is paralysed into wilful blindness and is doing nothing to change the situation. Since 2004, she has been informing regulatory bodies and the public of the potentially harmful effects of poorly prescribed and monitored psychiatric drugs.
Dr Lucire's fifty+ years of experience as a clinician and consultant gave her a unique overview of the changes wrought in the psychiatric treatment paradigm following the introduction of 'biological psychiatry,' leading to the widespread use of psychiatric drugs. She has lectured on psychiatry at undergraduate, intern and post-graduate level, and has worked in a variety of hospital and prison settings, and in private practice.
Her expertise encompasses adverse drug reactions, pharmacogenetics, the application of personalised medicine to clinical practice, drug company fraud, hysteria, epidemic somatisation and moral panics.
