Mad in America. Cattiva scienza, cattiva medicina e maltrattamento dei malati mentali

Whitaker's detailed research sheds light on a dark chapter, but I'm curious what motivated him to explore this specific topic and era.

The book presents both the failures and the tragedies involved, which made me wonder how different readers interpret the intentions behind these treatments.

Understanding the past seems crucial, but I'm interested in how this book influences opinions on modern psychiatry and reforms.
