Reviews
Anne Harrington masterfully chronicles the hopes--and the hype--surrounding psychiatry's much-heralded 'biological revolution' in this penetrating, capacious, and immensely engaging account. Read Mind Fixers for an absorbing guided tour through psychiatry's fractious history and current conflicts., Superb...nuanced...In Mind Fixers, Anne Harrington has written an excellent, engaging guide to what biological psychiatry has accomplished--and not accomplished--so far., Harrington's grasp of this story and the clarity with which, with limited moralism, she delivers a tale about the 'big picture' of psychiatry and neurology is emblematic of the historian's craft., Anne Harrington has written a lucid and compelling analysis of the travails of psychiatry as it has attempted to ground its understanding of mental illness in biology. She confronts the gaps between its aspirations and reality with fairness and even sympathy., The story Harrington tells is one of push-and-pull, back-and-forth...Intricate and winding, though her prose remains clear and crisp., The shortcomings of current ideas in the causes and treatments of mental disease are clearly documented. [Harrington's] insights into the social aspects of treatment deserve to be addressed., A tale of promising roads that turned out to be dead ends, of treatments that seemed miraculous in their day but barbaric in retrospect, of public-health policies that were born in hope but destined for disaster...Of value to historians of medicine., A laudable venture, in which Harrington's intellectual precision and exacting research cannot be faulted., Masterful...Harrington's grasp of this story and the clarity with which, with limited moralism, she delivers a tale about the 'big picture' of psychiatry and neurology is emblematic of the historian's craft., Anyone interested in mental health care's history and future will appreciate this informative and rewarding survey., In Mind Fixers, Anne Harrington offers a provocative and enthralling account of psychiatry's quest for the holy grail of a biological explanation of mental illness. A well-written, effectively substantiated and devastating story of a research enterprise that has gotten nowhere at great expense, with nonending hype and, in so doing, has weakened a profession that is clinically still useful and, like its patients, deserves much better., Deeply researched and thoughtfully organized...Harrington--with the rigor of a scholar, the drive of a reformer and the benefit of an outsider's perspective--cracks the insular discipline of psychiatry open.
