Book Synopsis Doing Psychiatry Wrong by : René J. Muller

Download or read book Doing Psychiatry Wrong written by René J. Muller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The prospect that the psychiatric profession has hurt rather than helped many of its patients is incredibly disheartening; however, wrong diagnoses and improper treatment are all too common errors within the field. Author René Muller presents a revealing look into how psychiatry has failed a great majority of patients, all the while recognizing the valiant efforts made by psychiatrists who maintain their integrity and serve their patients well. The result is an enlightening critique of the profession—one that pits criticism of psychiatry's current biological reduction and exaggerated promises against the accumulated wisdom of a profession that has struggled for a century and a half to understand and help those with mental illness.
