À propos de cet audio

The inspiration for the PBS series Mysterious of Mental Illness, Shrinks brilliantly tells the "astonishing" story of psychiatry's origins, demise, and redemption (Siddhartha Mukherjee).

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, MD, the former president of the American Psychiatric Association, reveals in his extraordinary and eye-opening audiobook, 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 - beginning after World War II - 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 listen, and an urgent call-to-arms to dispel the stigma of mental illnesses by treating them as diseases rather than unfortunate states of mind.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A lucid popular history...At once skeptical and triumphalist. It shows just how far psychiatry has come.” (Julia M. Klein, Boston Globe)
"Jeffrey Lieberman has produced a masterful behind-the-scenes examination of psychiatry - and, by extension, the human condition. A wise and gripping book that tackles one of the most important questions of our time: what is mental illness?" (Andrew Solomon, author of Far from the Tree and The Noonday Demon)
"An astonishing book: honest, sober, exciting, and humane. Lieberman writes with the authority of an expert, but with the humility of a doctor who has learned to treat the most profound and mysterious forms of mental illnesses... This book brings you to the very forefront of one of the most amazing medical journeys of our time." (Siddhartha Mukherjee, author of The Emperor of All Maladies)

Informative. Interesting

Brilliant summary of psychiatry journey. As a psychiatrist I share similar concerns about psychiatry that the public have but being an insider I deeply believe all I wanted to do is to help my patients the best I know how with available current resources. I strive to continue to educate and improve myself as a psychiatrist and open to changes and new development research brings to this young field .

Amazing information

I got this on a whim and I was blown away. I work in this field and had never learned about all the aspects of growth in North America
