Wonderful review of the field,

This review is from: American Psychiatry After World War II, 1944-1994 (Hardcover)
This is a marvelous review of psychiatry in America after World War II. I happen to be writing something now for which explanations in several chapters are very useful, which made me feel that it was not a mistake to plunk down a sizeable amount (I'm not used to academic prices!) for the book. Pound for pound, it was worth it. On chapters I knew something about (the NIH Clinical Center and the evolving relationship of NIMH and NIH) the information was concise, informative, and so far as I know accurate. In only one of the chapters I've read so far is the writing below par (in "Psyche and Soma") and in many of the chapters the surveys of unfolding events and trends is fascinating and packed with insights. Particularly helpful are comments on the strange and constantly changing relationship between medicine and psychiatry. A genuinely worthwhile book.
