{"product_id":"shrinks-the-untold-story-of-psychiatry","title":"Shrinks: The Untold Story of Psychiatry","description":"The inspiration for the PBS series Mysterious of Mental Illness, Shrinks brilliantly tells the groundbreaking story of psychiatry's origins, demise, and redemption.\n\nPsychiatry has come a long way since the days of chaining \"lunatics\" in cold cells and parading them as freakish marvels before a gaping public.But, as Jeffrey Lieberman, MD, the former president of the American Psychiatric Association, reveals in his extraordinary and eye-opening book, the path to legitimacy for \"the black sheep of medicine\" has been anything but smooth.\n\nIn Shrinks, Dr. Lieberman traces the field from its birth as a mystic pseudo-science through its adolescence as a cult of \"shrinks\" to its late blooming maturity—beginning after World War II—as a science-driven profession that saves lives. With fascinating case studies and portraits of the luminaries of the field—from Sigmund Freud to Eric Kandel—Shrinks is a gripping and illuminating read, and an urgent call-to-arms to dispel the stigma of mental illnesses by treating them as diseases rather than unfortunate states of mind.\n\n\"Astonishing.\" —Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies\n\n“A lucid popular history ... At once skeptical and triumphalist. It shows just how far psychiatry has come.” —Julia M.
