Mind Fixers: Psychiatry's Troubled Search for the Biology of Mental Illness by Anne Harrington

3.0

I enjoyed reading 'Mind Fixers' if only for the fact that it is full of examples of how psychiatry has inflicted suffering on its subjects over the last two hundred years. It is certainly worth reading if you aren’t already aware that we have absolutely no idea what we are doing in the field. Beyond that it doesn’t seem to have much to offer besides a call for a more modest approach, which is a call unlikely ever to be listened to.
