Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
The history of madness and its treatment is a fascinating one. At one time, the mentally ill were diagnosed as demonically possessed; later, when mental illness became the province of psychoanalysts, those conditions that are actually physical in nature, such as schizophrenia or manic depression, went insufficiently treated, their sufferers consigned to asylums. In his book, A History of Psychiatry, Edward Shorter, a medical historian at the University of Toronto, presents a concise chronology of mental illness and its treatment. Shorter favors a biological understanding of these disorders, concentrating on medical approaches to helping the seriously mentally ill.

From Booklist
Shorter's social history of 200 years of psychiatry in the U.S., Great Britain, France, and Germany is informative and at times lively. It begins with the asylums of the eighteenth century, showing that they did some good until they were overwhelmed by increasing numbers of patients. The first round of biological psychiatry in the nineteenth century involved initial attempts to connect mental conditions with parts of the body; with this material Shorter does particularly well as he compares, in terms of both theories and treatments, the centralized national system of psychiatry in France with the separate institutes and private clinics in Germany. The nineteenth century also saw the emergence of patients' power when diagnoses of "madness" were refused and preference given those of various "nervous conditions." As for psychoanalysis, Shorter pillories it and then delineates the second round of biological psychiatry involving genetics and the growth of neuroscience. Dealing ably with the major trends, Shorter does not fail to also illuminate such engaging and horrifying byways as the "fever cure" and ice pick lobotomy. William Beatty

Format:Taschenbuch
This book is a one-sided polemic. The author clearly believes that only the "biological" approach to psychiatry is worth anything, but instead of presenting his case as an honest argument, he gives us a weighted, colored, and biased view of history. I was very disappointed.
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is a well written acount of the development of psychiatry through the ages. It shows in great detail (sometimes too much, hence only 4 stars) the rise, fall and rise of biological psychiatry. Especially the part of the second rise and the decline of psychoanalysis is a must read for everyone interested in this subject. After reading this book everyone should understand that there is only one side to psychiatry and that is the biological side.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Highly intelligent, principled writing. Not opinionated, but has opinions, argues for them, convinces the reader. Informative but does not aequalize between imporatent and unimportant. Brilliant style, most amusing.
