Humanizing Madness: Psychiatry and the Cognitive Neurosciences (Hardcover)

Ok you guys. This book is intense. Its a little over my head to be honest. Essentially the book digs into the research that has spans 30 years and concentrates on the philosophy of science. Then the book takes each of the major theories in psychiatry flips it 180 degrees. I really understand much of it because I didn't take any type of class even close to the subject matter since freshman year of college but it seems like its like watching Sisyphus cursed to roll a huge boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll down again, because thats the only way he knows how to move the rock. But then he turns around and sees that someone else hired a crane.

If you have the head for this material, more power to you.
