This contribution to the burgeoning field of medical humanities contends that psychiatry's move away from a theory-based model (one favoring psychoanalysis and other talk therapies) to a more scientific model (based on new breakthroughs in neuroscience and pharmacology) has been detrimental to both the profession and its clients. This shift toward a science-based model includes the codification of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders to the status of standard scientific reference, enabling mental-health practitioners to assign a tidy classification for any mental disturbance or deviation. Psychiatrist and cultural studies scholar Bradley Lewis argues for \"postpsychiatry,\" a new psychiatric practice informed by the insights of poststructuralist theory.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Michigan Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081029140720,"sku":"9780472025756","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780472025756_p0.jpg?v=1763707983","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780472025756","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
