No hay lugar para un cerebro l cido en un cuerpo agotado ni para una vida en calma en una sociedad enferma. Durante d cadas hemos separado la mente del cuerpo como si fueran piezas separadas. M dicos y psic logos suelen tratar s ntomas aislados sin atender al cuadro general ni indagar en las verdaderas causas de nuestro malestar. Jos Luis Mar n, uno de los m dicos psicoterapeutas m s respetados de nuestro pa s, desaf a la visi n dominante: no hay salud mental; solo hay una salud, donde la biolog a, las emociones y el contexto social est n profundamente entrelazados. Partiendo de su dilatada experiencia, el doctor Mar n recorre la historia de la psiquiatr a desde el auge cientificista de los a os setenta y la fiebre de la serotonina que l mismo secund en sus inicios, pasando por la «invenci n de trastornos mentales, hasta la progresiva psiquiatrizaci n de la vida cotidiana. Con lucidez, valent a y esperanza, propone un cambio de paradigma radical: dejar de tratar los s ntomas y empezar a cuidar a las personas. Un libro imprescindible para comprender por qu nos sentimos mal y qu necesitamos para vivir mejor. «No hay enfermedades, solo enfermos. Y cada enfermo es una historia que une el cuerpo con la emoci n, la biograf a y el mundo. Cuando olvidamos eso, la medicina deja de curar para empezar a reparar piezas . Dr. Jos Luis Mar n ENGLISH DESCRIPTION There is no place for a lucid brain in an exhausted body or for a calm life in a sick society. For decades we have separated the mind from the body as if they were separate parts. Doctors and psychologists often treat isolated symptoms without looking at the bigger picture or investigating the real causes of our discomfort. Jos Luis Mar n, one of the most respected psychotherapists in our country, challenges the dominant view: there is no such thing as mental health; there is only health, where biology, emotions, and social context are deeply intertwined. Drawing on his extensive experience, Dr. Mar n traces the history of psychiatry from the scientific boom of the 1970s and the serotonin craze that he himself supported in its early days, through the "invention" of mental disorders, to the progressive psychiatrization of everyday life. With lucidity, courage, and hope, he proposes a radical paradigm shift: stop treating symptoms and start caring for people. An essential book for understanding why we feel bad and what we need to live better. "There are no diseases, only sick people. And each sick person is a story that links the body with emotion, personal history, and the world. When we forget that, medicine stops healing and starts repairing parts." --Dr. Jos Luis Mar n
