Mind fixers : psychiatry's troubled search for the biology of mental illness /

Harrington, Anne

Mind fixers : psychiatry's troubled search for the biology of mental illness / Harrington, Anne - New York : W.W. Norton & Company, ©2019 - xviii, 366 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm

In Mind Fixers, Anne Harrington, author of The Cure Within, explores psychiatry's repeatedly frustrated struggle to understand mental disorder in biomedical terms. She shows how the stalling of early twentieth-century efforts in this direction allowed Freudians and social scientists to insist, with some justification, that they had better ways of analyzing and fixing minds.
