My friend has been pointed at these references on this issue by one source:

Antidepressant Drug Effects and Depression Severity, A Patient-Level Meta-analysis, Jay C. Fournier, MA; Robert J. DeRubeis, PhD; Steven D. Hollon, PhD; Sona Dimidjian, PhD; Jay D. Amsterdam, MD; Richard C. Shelton, MD; Jan Fawcett, MD, JAMA. 2010;303(1):47-53.
Richard Bentall, 'Doctoring the Mind' and 'Madness Explained'
a PDF of interview with David Healy which forms part of the course materials for the Open University module Counselling: exploring fear and sadness (sadly can't find the PDF online, but Healy's views on SSRIs appear to be well documented elsewhere)

Bentall's Wikipedia bio concludes:

Doctoring the Mind allies itself with the anti-psychiatry movement and critiques biological psychiatry.
