CHOSEN AS A BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE TIMES AND DAILY TELEGRAPH'A
riveting chronicle of faulty science, false promises, arrogance,
greed, and shocking disregard for the wellbeing of patients
suffering from mental disorders. An eloquent, meticulously
documented, clear-eyed call for change' Dirk WittenbornIn this
masterful work, Andrew Scull, one of the most provocative thinkers
writing about psychiatry, sheds light on its troubled historyFor
more than two hundred years, disturbances of reason, cognition and
emotion - the sort of things that were once called 'madness' - have
been described and treated by the medical profession. Mental
illness, it is said, is an illness like any other - a disorder that
can treated by doctors, whose suffering can be eased, and from
which patients can return.And yet serious mental illness remains a
profound mystery that is in some ways no closer to being solved
than it was at the start of the twentieth century. In this
clear-sighted and provocative exploration of psychiatry, acclaimed
sociologist Andrew Scull traces the history of its attempts to
understand and mitigate mental illness: from the age of the asylum
and surgical and chemical interventions, through the rise and fall
of Freud and the talking cure, and on to our own time of drug
companies and antidepressants. Through it all, Scull argues, the
often vain and rash attempts to come to terms with the enigma of
mental disorder have frequently resulted in dire consequences for
the patient.Deeply researched and lucidly conveyed, Desperate
Remedies masterfully illustrates the assumptions and theory behind
the therapy, providing a definitive new account of psychiatry's and
society's battle with mental illness.
