Book Review of Alternatives Beyond Psychiatry by Peter Stastny and Peter Lehmann (Eds) [Book Review]
Philosophy, Ethics, and Humanities in Medicine 3:1-2 (2008)
Abstract |
Peter Stastny and Peter Lehmann's Alternatives beyond Psychiatry offers a comprehensive and up to date account of the alternatives to mainstream psychiatry that are being developed by service consumers and survivors across the world. As psychiatry moves into a new age less dominated by a biomedical paradigm many of the approaches described in this book may be adopted by mainstream health services. This is a hugely readable and accessible book for professionals and consumers alike
