The Book of Woe: The DSM and the Unmaking of Psychiatry

The Book of Woe is a groundbreaking exposé that delves into the flawed process behind the DSM-5, revealing how this influential manual has turned suffering into a commodity.

With an unflinching eye, author Gary Greenberg exposes the arbitrary and often unwisely wielded power of the American Psychiatric Association, leading to the diagnosis of too many bogus mental illnesses in patients and excessive medication treatment.

Through his in-depth investigation, Greenberg argues for a more humble approach to psychiatry, one that prioritizes the needs of patients over the interests of the medical establishment.

This essential read is a must-have for practicing and in-training psychotherapists and psychiatrists, as well as anyone interested in understanding the complexities of mental health treatment.
