Hippocrates Cried offers an eye-witness account of the decline of
American psychiatry by an experienced psychiatrist and researcher.
Arguing that patients with mental disorders are no longer receiving
the care they need, Dr. Taylor suggest that modern psychiatrists in
the U.S. rely too heavily on the DSM, a diagnostic tool that fails
to properly diagnose many cases of mental disorder and often
neglects important conditions or symptoms. American psychiatry has
come to reflect simplistic algorithms forged by pharmaceutical
companies, rather than true scientific methodology. Few
professionals have a working knowledge of psychopathology outside
of what is outlined in the DSM, and more mental health patients are
being treated by primary care physicians than ever before. Dr.
Tayler creates a passionate yet scholarly account of this issue.
For psychiatrists and researchers, this book is a plea for help.
Combining personal vignettes and informative data, it creates a
powerful illustration of a medical field in turmoil. For the
general reader, Hippocrates Cried will provide a fresh perspective
on an issue that rarely receives the attention it requires. This
book strips American psychiatry of its modern misconceptions and
seeks to save a form of medicine no longer rooted in science.
