Darwinian Psychiatry
ISBN: 9780195116731 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Based on Darwinian theory rather than traditional approaches, the book offers clinicians a fundamentally new perspective for looking at the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and...

Electroshock: Restoring the Mind
ISBN: 9780195119565 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Dr. Fink traces the development of ECT from its discovery in 1934 followed by widespread use for two decades, to the 1950s when it was largely replaced by the introduction of psychotropic drugs, to its revival in the past twenty...

The presumed link between mental disorder and violence has been the driving force behind mental health law and policy for centuries. Legislatures, courts, and the public have come to expect that mental health professionals will protect them from violent acts by persons with mental disorders. Yet for three decades research has shown that clinicians' unaided assessments of "dangerousness" are barely better than chance.
