Psychiatry has come a long way since the "insane" were locked in cold cells. Jeffrey Lieberman, in his fascinating book, shows that this path was by no means easy: the "black sheep of medicine" had to overcome a lot before gaining recognition. Dr. Lieberman traces history from the birth of a mysterious pseudoscience and the era of the shrink sect to the current time when experts save lives using scientifically proven methods. The past of psychiatry is full of dubious theories and risky treatments (including artificial coma induction and lobotomy with an ice pick). There were also two opposing camps in the field: psychiatrists like Sigmund Freud, who focused on the mind, and neuroscientists like Eric Kandel, who focused on the brain. With compelling case studies and versatile portraits of some of the industry's most prominent figures, reading The Brain is not only fun, it's educational. The book draws attention to the problem of stigmatization of mental disorders. People should treat them as illnesses, and not as a deplorable state of mind.
