The Concepts of Psychiatry: A Pluralistic Approach to the Mind and Mental Illness

Description

Reviews:
"Ghaemi raises dozens of thought-provoking questions in the midst of his tour through the concepts of psychiatry." - Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease "This interesting and well-written volume can both enhance the reader's conceptual approach to understanding psychiatry and assist the reader's avoidance of dogmatism on the one hand and conceptual 'glibness' on the other." - Journal of Clinical Psychiatry "A reminder of the rich banquet of conceptual and philosophical issues that are of relevance to our field but rarely make it into the standard literature." - Psychological Medicine "A sensational success when it comes to waking us up from our conceptually impoverished stupors... Ghaemi has given us a book that is not only painfully unusual by today's standards, but so stubbornly and clearly thought out as well." - Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry"

"Eventually we all can hope that psychiatry will join medicine in identifying how the disorders we recognize are not entities imposed from without on people but rather expressions of life under altered circumstances that we can work to correct. To achieve this goal, we need to grasp how we are both working with patients and thinking about their conditions. Read here and see the future -- not darkly and indistinctly hoping for inspiration, but face to face with the methods and practices that will bring it to pass." -- from the foreword by Paul R. McHugh M.D.

"Wide ranging and extraordinarily informed, Dr. Ghaemi gives us an indispensable guide to the difficulties and dilemmas of psychiatric work, plus the roadmap for a pluralistic future. A work of truly unusual intelligence." -- Leston Havens, M.D., Harvard Medical School and Cambridge Hospital

"Ghaemi raises dozens of thought-provoking questions in the midst of his tour through the concepts of psychiatry." -- John Z. Sadler, M.D., Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease

"This interesting and well-written volume can both enhance the reader's conceptual approach to understanding psychiatry and assist the reader's avoidance of dogmatism on the one hand and conceptual 'glibness' on the other... A valuable contribution to our literature and an important extension of McHugh and Slavney's 1998 text, The Perspectives of Psychiatry." -- James W. Lomax, M.D., Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
