A new book exposing flaws in modern psychiatry. I've just ordered a copy, but I thought perhaps others would be interested in it as well. I'm not sure it will say anything I don't already know, but it's preaching straight from the devil's mouth (as it were).

It was reviewed in Salon today:
"Psychiatry's Legitimacy Crisis"

And, as an aside, I think the hardest part of being anti-psychiatry is dealing with people who don't get the difference between dismissing mental distress and criticising the way that distress is categorised and medicated by psychiatrists. Bah.

I will pick this up when I have the spare money for it! But yeah, I hear you on your latter statement... I'm antipsychiatry but that doesn't mean I don't think other people might need it. And I'm antipsychiatry but that doesn't mean I am totally refusing of help. I know I need help. I'd just rather have the source of my discontent analyzed & interpreted & categorically dealt with rather than just stifled by medications. :/
Thanks for this!
