Madness on the Couch: Blaming the Victim in the Heyday of Psychoanalysis Dolnick EdwardPaperback
In the golden age of talk therapy, the 1950s and 1960s, psychotherapists saw no limit to what they could do. In Madness on the Couch, veteran science writer Edward Dolnick tells the tragic story of that confrontation.It is a vivid, compelling tale that is told here for the first time. Believing they had already explained the origins of war, homosexuality, anti-Semitism, and a host of neurotic ailments, they set out to conquer one of mankind's oldest and fiercest foes, mental illness.
Schizophrenia, the most dreaded mental illness, strikes its young victims without warning and torments them with hallucinations and mocking voices. Dolnick focuses on three battles in an epic war: against schizophrenia, autism, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Autism claims its victims even younger, at age one or two, and locks them away, cut off from the rest of us by invisible walls.
