About this product

Product Information

One of America's most controversial writers in the field, Breggin, writes about the uses and abuses of electroconvulsive therapy and drug therapy in the USA, where such things are used as cure-alls. He details the success of talking therapy , and other psychosocial interventions in helping people diagnosed by psychiatrists as schizophrenic, depressed, panic disordered, hyperactive, and learning disabled, and documents how many of these conditions can be healed through love, guidance, empathy, family therapy, rehabilitation and the teaching of coping skills. And how psychiatry, motivated by power and money, increasingly favours chemical and mechanistic interventions.

  • Excellent find

    I was advised to read this for the start of my 3rd year as a student mental health nurse! Entering a module which incorporated critical psychiatry this was great!! So easy to read and very interesting!!! Highly recommend!

  • Truth about psychiatry

    Dr. Breggin gives a compelling account of the harrowing truth of psychiatry and provides alternatives to this more than outdated and barbaric form of Western treatment for the mind.

  • Brilliant!

    Breggin's book is a brilliant work, an expose of everything that is wrong in the drug-oriented mental health system. Althought it was written about the USA, it also has sections about the UK. It should be required reading for all clinical psychiatrists. It was so good to see all the misgivings I had felt for years, so eloquently put, and with all the supporting evidence for the points raised. If you have been a vicitim of the mental health system, you really MUST read this book, it will make sense of what happened to you, and make you want to see things change.
