and there is also this very recent article in an Australian medical professional magazine which apparently includes a critical quote form the former president of the Royal Australian College of Psychiatrists, Louise Newman, but unfortunately is only available for doctors to read:

and there's also these:
"On the face of it, Australia's sudden and massive investment in the EPPIC program seems far excessive and decades premature. EPPIC may indeed work, but it represents a huge and reckless bet seemingly based more on blind faith in one man than on a substantial foundation of research and experience."
- Dr Allen J. Frances
"Clearly pre-emptive/preventive treatment is an important component of the EPPIC model, and potential recipients are being actively recruited."
- Melissa Raven, psychiatric epidemiologist and member of Healthy Skepticism, in comments on the article by Dr Frances in Psychology Today
