Illness Narratives
From one of America's most celebrated psychiatrists, the book that has taught generations of healers why healing the sick is about more than just diagnosing their illnessWestern medicine treats sick patients like broken machines -- figure out what is physically wrong, fix it, and send the patient on their way.
