A look at modern and 19th century psychiatry: the truth of the monoamine hypothesis, personality disorder, the descriptions in the DSM, its scientific status and legitimacy. Is it a real science or the self-fulfilling claims of an elite? Is there any evidence of cures or does psychiatry make people feel worse? This book distinguishes between Asylum Psychiatry and Dynamic Psychiatry, with the former, a busy advocate of ECT and drug therapies dominant. The book will consider the coercive behaviour of psychiatry and its policing role for the state.
