Beskrivning

A Democratic Mind: Psychology and Psychiatry with Fewer Meds and More Soul focuses on how an individual lives one’s life, and on the extent of harm that an individual can inflict on oneself or others. In this book, Charny provides a new lens for treating real people rather than offering treatments that alleviate symptoms.

Recensioner i media

The argument for freedom of thought in our work and in our lives is emblazoned in this groundbreaking book for our times. A Democratic Mind marshals cogent arguments against the social and psychotherapeutic trends toward the surrender of imposed constraints on thought and action and toward the suggestion that rule-bound ideas of mental health and illness will suffice. If you long for a unifying call for freedom of thought, read this book!
