A world-renowned psychiatrist reveals the fascinating story of
psychiatry's origins, demise and redemption. Psychiatry has come a
long way since the days of chaining 'lunatics' in cold cells and
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 and portraits of the luminaries of
the field, from Sigmund Freud to Eric Kandel, SHRINKS is a gripping
and illuminating read. It is also an urgent call-to-arms to dispel
the stigma surrounding mental illness and to start treating it as a
disease rather than a state of mind.
