About This Item
New York: Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013. Reprint ed.. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear jacket (small crease top edge). 256 pp. This well-researched book by Edward Shorter urges that the diagnosis of depression be re-thought. His argument is based on historical research on the past and future of psychiatric diagnosis, and in particular attempts to explain and treat the concept of a 'nervous breakdown', which cannot be solved just by medication.
