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
