Description: A Profession Without Reason by Bruce E. Levine Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An examination of modern-day psychiatry and the radical ideas needed to transform it. Publisher Description There is today a crisis in psychiatry. Even the former director of the National Institute of Mental Health, Thomas Insel, has said: "Whatever weve been doing for five decades, it aint working." The field requires a completely fresh look, and clinical psychologist Bruce Levine--a man often at odds with his profession--enlists the early Enlightenment philosopher Baruch de Spinoza to help work through the problem. Readers unfamiliar with Spinoza will be intrigued by the modern relevance of his radical philosophical, psychological, and political ideas. Levine compares the radical/moderate divide among Enlightenment thinkers to a similar divergence between contemporary critics of psychiatry, siding historically with Spinoza in order to bring an equivalent intellectual force to bear upon our modern crisis and calling for new forms of free and enlightened thinking. Author Biography Bruce E. Levine is a practicing clinical psychologist and author. His books include Resisting Illegitimate Authority and Surviving Americas Depression Epidemic. He is a regular contributor to CounterPunch, Truthout, and Mad in America, and his articles have been published in the New York Times, Skeptic, Salon, AlterNet, Adbusters, The Ecologist, High Times, and Yes!. Levine is on the editorial advisory board of the journal Ethical Human Psychology and Psychiatry, and he is on the medical and scientific advisory board of the National Center for Youth Law. He resides in Cincinnati, Ohio. Details ISBN 184935460X ISBN-13 9781849354608 Title A Profession Without Reason Author Bruce E.
