Shrinkers. The Untold History of Psychiatry
Book Description
Psychiatry has come a long way since the "insane" were locked up in cold cells. Jeffrey Lieberman in his fascinating book shows that this path was by no means simple: the "white crow of medicine" had to overcome a lot before getting recognition. Dr. Lieberman traces the history from the birth of the mysterious pseudoscience and the period of the "sect of shrinkers" to the current moment when specialists save lives using scientifically proven methods. The past of psychiatry is full of dubious theories and risky treatments (including artificial coma inducing and lobotomy with an ice pick).
