The Rise and Fall of the Age of Psychopharmacology
Shorter, Edward (Professor of Psychiatry and History of Medicine, Professor of Psychiatry and History of Medicine, University of Toronto)
In The Rise and Fall of the Age of Psychopharmacology, esteemed historian Edward Shorter proposes that the recent history of psychiatry is that of a failed scientific discipline of medicine. Medicine generally is about the story of progress, but psychiatry's story is that of failure in diagnosis, in therapeutics, and in the ability to deliver science-based care to suffering individuals.
