Description

Hippocrates Cried offers an eye-witness account of the decline of American psychiatry by an experienced psychiatrist and researcher.

Arguing that patients with mental disorders are no longer receiving the care they need, Dr. Taylor suggest that modern psychiatrists in the U.S. rely too heavily on the DSM, a diagnostic tool that fails to properly diagnose many cases of mental disorder and often neglects important conditions or symptoms.

American psychiatry has come to reflect simplistic algorithms forged by pharmaceutical companies, rather than true scientific methodology.

Few professionals have a working knowledge of psychopathology outside of what is outlined in the DSM, and more mental health patients are being treated by primary care physicians than ever before. Dr. Tayler creates a passionate yet scholarly account of this issue.

For psychiatrists and researchers, this book is a plea for help.

Combining personal vignettes and informative data, it creates a powerful illustration of a medical field in turmoil.

For the general reader, Hippocrates Cried will provide a fresh perspective on an issue that rarely receives the attention it requires.

This book strips American psychiatry of its modern misconceptions and seeks to save a form of medicine no longer rooted in science.
