Doctoring the Mind

Discover the compelling insights of Richard P. Bentall in his thought-provoking book, Doctoring the Mind. Published by Penguin Books Ltd in 2010, this 384-page paperback delves into the critical flaws in the Western treatment of mental illness. Bentall challenges the status quo by exploring who truly benefits from psychiatry and raises important questions about the disparities in mental health recovery rates across different countries. For instance, why does a patient in Nigeria often have a higher chance of recovery compared to one in the UK? This eye-opening work invites readers to rethink the mental health care system and understand the underlying truths that affect countless lives. Perfect for anyone interested in psychology, mental health, or social justice, Doctoring the Mind is a must-read that promises to enlighten and inspire.
