_Hippocrates Cried_ offers an eye-witness account of the decline of
American psychiatry by an experienced psychiatrist and researcher.
Arguing that patients with mental disorders are no longer receiving
the care they need, Dr. Taylor suggest that modern psychiatrists in
the U.S. rely too heavily on the DSM, a diagnostic tool that fails to
properly diagnose many cases of mental disorder and often neglects
important conditions or symptoms. American psychiatry has come to
reflect simplistic algorithms forged by pharmaceutical companies,
rather than true scientific methodology. Few professionals have a
working knowledge of psychopathology outside of what is outlined in
the DSM, and more mental health patients are being treated by primary
care physicians than ever before.Dr. Taylor creates a passionate yet
scholarly account of this issue. For psychiatrists and researchers,
this book is a plea for help. Combining personal vignettes and
informative data, it creates a powerful illustration of a medical
field in turmoil. For the general reader, _Hippocrates Cried_ will
provide a fresh perspective on an issue that rarely receives the
attention it requires. This book strips American psychiatry of its
modern misconceptions and seeks to save a form of medicine no longer
rooted in science.
