Fools and Frauds: How Modern Psychiatry Fumbled the Origins of Mental Illness This is a book for the general reader, especially for people who have made contact in one way or another with mental illness. It’s a book designed to tell a story, the story of the early fumblings of medical science in its attempt to understand various mental illnesses.
