Luhrmann examines the world of psychiatry,  a profession which today is facing some of its greatest challenges from within and  without, as it continues to offer hope to many.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At a time when mood-altering drugs  have revolutionized the treatment of the mentally ill and HMO’s are forcing caregivers  to take the pharmacological route over the talking cure, Luhrmann places us at the  heart of the matter and allows us to see exactly what is at stake. Based on extensive  interviews with patients and doctors, as well as investigative fieldwork in residence  programs, private psychiatric hospitals, and state hospitals, Luhrmann’s groundbreaking  book shows us how psychiatrists develop and how the enormous ambiguities in the field  affect its practitioners and patients.“Clear-eyed intellectual analysis...shrewd, witty, refreshing.”–\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“[A]stute and fascinating....
