À propos de cet audio

A clinical psychologist who regularly deals with some of society's most vulnerable exposes and debunks the predatory pseudoscience and grift of the multi-trillion-dollar wellness industry and points us towards a better way to take care of our mental health.

Can the unbroken gaze of a lone man on a stage in front of hundreds of people truly alleviate their mental distress? Can Berlin Wall pills or a coffee enema cure depression? Can we improve our mental health with past-life regression therapy, cold-water shock therapy, rebirthing therapy? Wellness grifters and alternative-health snake oil salesmen are everywhere these days, and when our medical systems are under stress (and we are, too!) these costly purveyors of false hope are worse than a waste of money—they can lead us to delay badly needed care from real professionals, exacerbate our conditions and, in the most tragic of cases, even kill us.

Today, people looking to care for their mental health face a market with at least 600 “brands” of psychotherapy—and counting. Most are ineffective, and many could be harmful. There exist countless unregulated providers of mental health services in the $5.6 trillion USD wellness industry and alternative medicine community looking to exploit people’s financial and emotional vulnerabilities. The world of mental health care is very much caveat emptor: buyer beware.

Having seen so many of his patients hurt by the pseudoscience circulating in the industry, Dr. Jonathan N. Stea is on a mission to expose its harm and protect the public from mental health misinformation. In a landscape of rampant burnout and at a time when mental health concerns are at a fever pitch, Mind the Science provides hope and real information to those who have been touched by mental illness, have been misled by false marketing, or are simply curious about the relationship between science and mental health.

Please note that the audiobook edition includes a supplemental PDF.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Ce que les critiques en disent

“A no-holds-barred critique of the wellness industry’s pervasive and pernicious influence on mental health care. . . . Stea’s writing style is engaging, marked by empathy and humor, and he makes complex concepts digestible. . . . For general readers looking to navigate the confusing landscape of mental health advice, protect themselves and their loved ones from the exploitative tactics, and recognize the snake oil salesmen of our age, they cannot go wrong with Mind the Science.”—Psychiatric Times

"Witty, fun, timely, and, most important, science-informed, Dr. Jonathan N. Stea’s new book, Mind the Science, is more than just a thorough debunk of the boatload of health BS that circulates in popular culture. It has a much-needed focus on mental health misinformation, which he handles—by drawing on both the best available evidence and his professional clinical experience—with empathy and humor. This book is for everyone, including healthcare professionals, patients, and anyone looking for an antidote to all the pseudoscientific nonsense that pollutes our information ecosystem!"—Timothy Caulfield, Order of Canada recipient and author of Relax: A Guide to Everyday Health Decisions with More Facts and Less Worry

"A fascinating, comprehensive, and eye-opening read on the barrage of mental health misinformation flooding us these days. Stea not only explains how to spot pseudoscience in a clear, digestible manner, but also offers fascinating anecdotes and historic examples that bring the issues to life. If anyone has ever been curious about what works and what doesn't, Mind the Science breaks it all down in an entertaining, approachable read that will leave you armed against predatory propaganda. This is a smart, empathetic manual that will help you navigate the often confusing and murky field of mental health."—Rina Raphael, journalist and author of The Gospel of Wellness: Gyms, Gurus, Goop, and the False Promise of Self-Care
