Out of its mind

"While millions of patients with severe mental illnesses are neglected, those charged with caring for them are engaged in a troubling debate: Who should treat these patients - and how? On one side are psychoanalysts and others who have traditionally shunned science in favor of a more "humanistic" approach to therapy. On the other are pill-pushing psychiatrists whose grasp of therapy, and sometimes even pharmacology, is often poor. And on the fringe are neuroscientists, who are learning volumes about the brain - how memory works, emotions form, dreams arise - but whose discoveries have largely been ignored. Truly, psychiatry is in crisis.". "In this book, Harvard psychiatrist J. Allan Hobson and medical journalist Jonathan A. Leonard explore the roots of this predicament and propose, for the first time, the development of a more balanced approach to treatment - neurodynamics - that bridges the worlds of biomedicine, therapy, and neuroscience."--BOOK JACKET.
