Reviews

A brief and gracefully written set of essays about a few of the philosophical controversies that have shaped current psychiatric thought... The authors appear to wish to give psychiatry back its 'soul,' and they make a strikingly cogent case that this is a necessary step in its reconstruction. Hospital and Community Psychiatry


A brief and gracefully written set of essays about a few of the philosophical controversies that have shaped current psychiatric thought... The authors appear to wish to give psychiatry back its 'soul,' and they make a strikingly cogent case that this is a necessary step in its reconstruction. Hospital and Community Psychiatry [I]t is essential to revisit the fundamental thinking that underlies psychiatry. The clearly written, carefully detailed chapters of Polarities provide an essential foundation in satisfying this need. The American Journal of Psychiatry
