Of Two Minds The Growing Disorder in Amrican Psychiatry

"OF TWO MINDS [is] T.M. Luhrmann's fascinating anthropological study of the way young doctors learn to be psychiatrists. What becomes clear, as one reads deeper into her book, is that we are in the midst of an enormous social and medical experiment about the way that we deal with mental illness in this country....Many readers may find Luhrmann's sympathetic discussion of psychotherapy a little too forgiving. I found it refreshing. All the same, I would have liked a less understated treatment of the enormous excitement about contemporary neuroscience, and perhaps more than a nod in the direction of some of psychotherapy's successes, like cognitive behavioral therapy.Luhrmann, T. M. is the author of 'Of Two Minds The Growing Disorder in Amrican Psychiatry' with ISBN 9780679421917 and ISBN 0679421912.
