PART I - MODELS ; PART II - DIAGNOSIS ; PART III - TREATMENT ; PART IV - OUTLOOK
"This is a bold, well-informed, articulate, and realistic
assessment coming from an expert who explores the faults--and the
smaller but still important advances--in
psychiatry."--PsyCRITIQUES
"This is a multifaceted and thoughtful perspective on where
psychiatry has been, where it is, and where it might be going,
written by a leader on the journey."--New England Journal of
Medicine
"Read Paris...and feel wiser. I recommend...to specialists and lay
readers alike."--Todd Dusfrene, Professor of Philosophy and
Research Chair at Lakehead University as reviewed in the Toronto
Globe
"Accessible to anyone with an interest in the field, Prescriptions
for the Mind provides a knowledgeable consideration of today's
psychiatry by the experienced clinician, researcher and teacher,
Joel Paris....Oftentimes, ideas about the future can be tiresomely
unbelievable. Fabulously enough, Prescriptions for the Mind is not
science fiction, but rather....sprinkled with
optimism."--Metapsychology Online Reviews
"There is much about contemporary psychiatry to be worried about,
and Dr. Paris is worried. Issues in diagnosis, matters of
treatment, and how we work and are trained are all courageously
addressed...I doubt that anyone will agree with all of his
perspectives--I certainly did not--but I am sure that they will be
respected as an honest effort to help the profession examine
itself. This is the most critical aspect of the book...It is a
service to the profession
and to those who are trying to understand the profession and its
work. I hope that many psychiatrists and people who care about
psychiatry read this book and talk about it and about the big
picture in
front of us."--Kenneth S. Thompson, MD, as reviewed in Psychiatric
Services
