Beskrivning

Unanswered Questions in Psychiatry is a critical yet illuminating exploration of the mysteries that still plague mental health care. Renowned psychiatrist Professor Joel Paris examines the biggest unanswered questions in the field-from the evolutionary roots of mental illness to the limitations of our diagnostic systems, the stalled progress in drug development, and the difficulties of suicide prediction and prevention. With clarity and candour, Professor Paris identifies what we still do not know about psychiatry-and why it matters. This thought-provoking read challenges assumptions and invites fresh thinking about the future of psychiatric practice. A must read for mental health professionals at all levels of training.
