What exactly is the difference between sadness and depression? What is the influence of emotional relationships on psychiatric conditions? How do public attitudes to mental illness affect the choices of treatment? And what does all this tell us about the cultural causes of mental illness?
The revolution in molecular genetics has given rise to a heady optimism that biology will soon explain all disturbances of mind and behaviour. But Julian Leff, one of the world's leading psychiatrists, counters this stance, instead emphasizing what is know about the psychological, social and cultural factors which underlie mental illness.
Wide-ranging, perceptie and penetrating, The Unbalanced Mind is essential reading for anyone who wishes to be informed about the public debate on mental illness.
'This easy-to-read, erudite and entertaining guide to where social psychiatry is at the moment is essential for anyone involved in psychiatric research and clinical work.'
- Raj Persaud
