About This Item

New York: Simon & Schuster, 1998. Book. As New. Hard. First Printing.. It is an age-old battle and it is not resolved yet. But in the ever-oscillating rivalry between psychology and biology, psychology always has one built-in advantage: it alone offers an escape from the randomness of fate. Biology offers no such consolation. Enter the age of psychoanalysis - where conditions such as schizophrenia, autism and obsessive-compulsive disorder can be cured through "talk therapy." Here the author uses the voices of therapists as well as those of their patients and loved ones to describe the controversial methods used to treat the mentally ill, and their heartbreaking consequences. Pages clean and crisp bind is tight; book appears unread; dj not clipped and encased in Brodart book protector; 368 pages; Size: 8 Vo.
