Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the limitations of the DSM-5, this book examines historical mental disorders that were overlooked and critiques the inclusion of certain diagnoses. It emphasizes the wealth of knowledge accumulated over two centuries in psychiatry, arguing that current labels like "schizophrenia" and "bipolar disorder" fail to reflect true mental health conditions. Edward Shorter advocates for a history-driven approach to mental health classification, suggesting that understanding past diagnoses could lead to more accurate and meaningful labels today.
