Towards the end of the 20th century, the solution to mental illness seemed to be found. It lay in biological solutions. Arguing for a future of mental health treatment that focuses as much on patients as individuals as on the brain itself, this book intends to redefine our understanding of the treatment of madness in the twenty-first century.
