Psychiatry has made a huge way since the "insane" was locked in cold chambers. Jeffrey Lieberman in his fascinating book shows that this path was by no means simple: "White Vorone Medicine" had to overcome a lot before getting recognition.
Dr. Liberman traces the story from the birth of a mysterious pseudo -dungeon and the period of the "Brain Management sect until the current moment when experts save lives using scientifically proven methods. The past of psychiatry is full of dubious theories and risky methods of treatment (including artificial causing coma and lobotomy with a knife for Kolka ice) And in this area there were two warring camps: psychiatrists like Sigmund Freud, who put consciousness at the forefront, and neurobiologists like Eric Candelus focusing on the brain.
Thanks to the description of exciting clinical cases and the versatile portraits of the most prominent representatives of the industry, the reading of the brain right not only captivates, but also teaches. The book attracts attention to the problem of stigmatization of mental disorders. People should treat them as diseases, and not as a deplorable state of mind.
detailed, authoritative, sometimes ruthless, but ultimately an optimistic story about the history of psychiatry. - Natalie Angier, book observer New York Times
A story written in an understandable language. Complete both skepticism and celebrations at the same time. She shows how far psychiatry has advanced ahead. - Julia Klein, critic of The Boston Globe newspaper
