Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche by Ethan Watters

5.0

Completely mind-blowing and eye-opening. I've recently become interested in the idea that hey maybe the modern psychiatry industry isn't some perfect and wholesome thing that we're led to believe it is. No, there are clear issues and plenty of pseudoscience being sold as real science. This book was shocking at first but actually made a lot of sense. Of course, we think we're the best and we know what's right, but do we really? This makes me reconsider everything I've been taught as "fact" within my psych major, as so much of it really can't be proven at all and has been manipulated by someone or other who has a vested interest in benefiting from the industry.
