Shrinks: The Untold Story of Psychiatry
Jeffrey A. Lieberman, Ogi OgasPsychiatry has come a long way since the days of chaining 'lunatics' in cold cells & parading them as freakish marvels before a gaping public. But, as Jeffrey Lieberman reveals in his extraordinary and eye-opening book, the path to legitimacy for 'the black sheep of medicine' has been anything but smooth. In SHRINKS, Dr. Lieberman traces the field from its birth as a mystic pseudo-science through its adolescence as a cult of 'shrinks' to its late blooming maturity since the Second World War as a science-driven profession that saves lives.
With fascinating case studies & portraits of the luminaries of the field, from Sigmund Freud to Eric Kandel, SHRINKS is a gripping & illuminating read. It is also an urgent call-to-arms to dispel the stigma surrounding mental illness & to start treating it as a disease rather than a state of mind.
Over his 40-year career, world renowned psychiatrist & best-selling author Dr. Jeffrey A. Lieberman’s groundbreaking research on the neurobiology & pharmacology of behavioral brain disorders has advanced our understanding & treatment of mental illness, & pioneered a transformative strategy for the early detection & prevention of schizophrenia. He is the author of Malady of the Mind: Schizophrenia & the Path to Prevention (Scribner; on sale: Feb. 21, 2023)
