### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent read
*by B***1 on 9 February 2012*

Definitly reccomend this book for anyone who is interested in mental health and its treatments, past and present. thoroughly enjoyed this book and was dissapointed when i has finished it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very good read
*by V***D on 16 December 2013*

A very analytical and incisively written book, with humour and without hubris. It is also a very easy and captivating read. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in the history of the treatment of those perceived to have a mental disorder.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Blows the lid off hundreds of years of intentional harm hidden under the guise of mental health care
*by G***M on 26 August 2023*

An incredibly detailed, well-researched and compiled historical narrative and a damning judgement of humanity. From the first few pages, it was clear that medical science has not moved the needle (in a positive direction anyway) in our treatment of mental health but has certainly played a pivotal role in manifesting our inclination to fear, discrimination, greed, power and self-delusion.
