With fascinating case studies and portraits of the luminaries of the field-from Sigmund Freud to Eric Kandel-Shrinks is a gripping and illuminating read, and an urgent call-to-arms to dispel the stigma of mental illnesses by treating them as diseases rather than unfortunate states of mind.\"Astonishing.\" -Siddhartha Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All MaladiesA lucid popular history ... At once skeptical and triumphalist. It shows just how far psychiatry has come. -Julia M.
