The new psychiatry

by Jack M. Gorman

Much needed and eagerly anticipated, The New Psychiatry, written by one of America's foremost psychiatrists, covers all the various fields of the profession, from the psychoanalysis of Sigmund Freud to the behavioral philosophy of B. F. Skinner to the scientifically proven results of psychopharmacology. Dr. Gorman proposes that the "New Psychiatry," above all else, must be compassionate and humane, while striving to achieve scientifically proven goals. A veritable reference book for patient, family, and practitioner, The New Psychiatry redefines and simplifies our understanding of mental health.
