Mind Fixers

Mind Fixers tells the history of psychiatry’s quest to understand the biological basis of mental illness and asks where we need to go from here.

In Mind Fixers, „preeminentul istoric al neurostiintei” (revista Science), Anne Harrington exploreaza eforturile psihiatrice frustrate in mod repetat de a intelege tulburarea mentala. Ea arata ca teoriile in crestere si in descrestere ale psihiatriei au fost modelate nu doar de evolutiile din clinica si laborator, ci si de o gama surprinzatoare de factori sociali.
