New Tab: Robert Whitaker’s Work

I’ve added a new tab to the blog which I will continue to update as needed. I’m posting a copy of it on the homepage today that you might all know that it’s here. In the future visit the tab at the top of the page to make sure you are seeing the latest updates.

There is quite a collection of Robert Whitaker’s work on this blog now. I’m making this page because I think it’s very important that anyone who wants to understand psychiatry in this country needs to read his work. His two seminal works on psychiatry are: Anatomy of an Epidemic and Mad in America.

• Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America — a note from Robert Whitaker
• New Scientist gives Robert Whitaker’s new book a great review
