This text examines the fads and fallacies, both past and present,
that have plagued psychiatric diagnosis, treatments and research.
It argues that such practices have led to an over-diagnosis of
conditions such as depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, PTSD and
autism. It examines the over-treatment of psychiatric disorders
with pharmaceuticals, and asks if neuroscience will actually hold
the answers to the biggest questions in the field. Thoroughly
updated in light of new research, this new edition addresses some
of the more recent developments in psychiatry, including
behavioural genetics, genome-wide association studies, and brain
imaging. It looks at new advances in psychotherapies and argues for
a broad biopsychosocial model. The book will inform psychiatrists,
clinical psychologists, other mental health professionals, and
medical students of the limits of mental health practice and the
importance of adopting cautious conservatism and the principles of
evidence-based practice.
