Synopsis

Can't believe that doctors would keep giving you psychiatric drugs that make you worse? They don't believe it either. But if you want to conduct medical practice on something stronger than belief, then the jury is no longer out. It's quite simple really - all you do is count up the number of people who get better after taking the drug, and compare it with those who don't. If more get worse, then you stop the drug. Except not this time. For 50 years the evidence has been rock solid, and for 50 years it's made no difference to what too many psychiatrists do. It's a fascinating story, except for the carnage - this book sets out to discover why. If you want the evidence in full, then the book you need is 'Mad In America' by Robert Whitaker. If you want a healthier view of what emotional distress is all about, then my earlier book 'Emotional Health' should help. But if you want to know how a group of intelligent, highly trained men and women can ignore abundant, irrefutable scientific evidence that proves psychiatric drugs do more harm than good - then 'Unsafe at any dose' is the book for you. Clear away the debris, take a closer look - and psychiatry today is built on sand. Pity really - the most intriguing, glorious, delightful entity in the entire cosmos - reduced by doctors to a poor imitation of a pocket calculator, which they then gum up with drugs. Take a look.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dr Bob Johnson is a fully qualified Consultant Psychiatrist as registered by the General Medical Council. He joined the Royal Medico-Psychological Association in 1958 after a degree in Psychology at Cambridge University, and has been a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists since 1973. His book 'Emotional Health' starts with the premise that we should be in control of our emotions, not the other way around, and it challenges the psychiatric tendency to reduce us all to mindless unfeeling robots. His latest project is organising Emotion Support Centres, where recoverers help others recover.
