The Loss of Sadness
Horwitz, Allan V., PhD (Board of Governors Professor of Sociology, Board of Governors Professor of Sociology, Rutgers University)
Framed within an evolutionary account of human health and disease, The Loss of Sadness presents a fascinating dissection of depression as both a normal and disordered human emotion and a sweeping critique of current psychiatric diagnostic practices. The result is a potent challenge to the diagnostic revolution that began almost thirty years ago in psychiatry and a provocative analysis of one of the most significant mental health issues today.
