Before Prozac: The Troubled History of Mood Disorders in Psychiatry
ISBN: 9780195368741 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Psychiatry today is a barren tundra, writes medical historian Edward Shorter, where drugs that don't work are used to treat diseases that don't exist. In this provocative volume, Shorter illuminates this dismal landscape, in a revealing account of why psychiatry is "losing ground" in the struggle to treat depression.
Naturally, the book looks at such culprits as the pharmaceutical industry, which is not inclined to market drugs once the patent expires, leading to the endless introduction of new--but not necessarily better--drugs. But the heart of the book focuses on an unexpected villain:...

From Paralysis to Fatigue: A History of Psychosomatic Illness in the Modern Era
ISBN: 9780029286678 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the 19th century, when gender roles were more confining, the dominant forms of psychosomatic illness were paralysis and hysteria. Today, when people experience confusion about the abundant possibilities available to them, when all is permitted, the dominant complaint is fatigue. Edward Shorter's history shows how patients throughout the centuries have produced symptoms in tandem with the cultural shifts of larger society. He argues that newly popularized diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome are only the most recent examples of patients' ailments that express the deepest truths about...

What Psychiatry Left Out of the Dsm-5: Historical Mental Disorders Today
ISBN: 9781138830899 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What Psychiatry Left Out of the DSM-5: Historical Mental Disorders Today covers the diagnoses that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) failed to include, along with diagnoses that should not have been included, but were. Psychiatry as a field is over two centuries old and over that time has gathered great wisdom about mental illnesses. Today, much of that knowledge has been ignored and we have diagnoses such as "schizophrenia" and "bipolar disorder" that do not correspond to the diseases found in nature; we have also left out disease labels that...

How Everyone Became Depressed: The Rise and Fall of the Nervous Breakdown
ISBN: 9780199948086 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. About one American in five receives a diagnosis of major depression over the course of a lifetime. That's despite the fact that many such patients have no mood disorder; they're not sad, but suffer from anxiety, fatigue, insomnia, or a tendency to obsess about the whole business. "There is a term for what they have," writes Edward Shorter, "and it's a good old-fashioned term that has gone out of use. They have nerves." In How Everyone Became Depressed, Edward Shorter, a distinguished professor of psychiatry and the history of medicine argues for a return to the old fashioned...

This is the first-ever history of catatonia, a singular psychiatric illness featuring often bizarre disorders of mind and movement together with fearfulness and anxiety.

Shock Therapy: A History of Electroconvulsive Treatment in Mental Illness
ISBN: 9780813554259 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 398 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Shock therapy is making a comeback today in the treatment of serious mental illness. Despite its reemergence as a safe and effective psychiatric tool, however, it continues to be shrouded by a longstanding negative public image, not least due to films such as the classic One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, where the inmate of a psychiatric clinic (played by Jack Nicholson) is subjected to electro-shock to curb his rebellious behavior. Beyond its vilification in popular culture, the stereotype of convulsive therapy as a dangerous and inhumane practice is fuelled by professional posturing...

The Kennedy Family
ISBN: 9781566397834 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 249 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. According to Edward Shorter, just forty years ago the institutions housing people with mental retardation (MR) had become a national scandal. The mentally retarded who lived at home were largely isolated and a source of family shame. Although some social stigma still attaches to the people with developmental disabilities (a range of conditions including what until recently was called mental retardation), they now actively participate in our society and are entitled by law to educational, social, and medical services. The immense improvement in their daily lives and life chances came about in...

Endocrine Psychiatry: Solving the Riddle of Melancholia
ISBN: 9780199737468 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The riddle of melancholia has stumped generations of doctors. It is a serious depressive illness that often leads to suicide and premature death. The disease's link to biology has been intensively studied. Unlike almost any other psychiatric disorder, melancholia sufferers have abnormal endocrine functions. Tests capable of separating melancholia from other mood disorders were useful discoveries, but these tests fell into disuse as psychiatrists lost interest in biology and medicine. In the nineteenth century, theories about the role of endocrine organs encouraged endocrine treatments that...
