The Book of Woe: the DSM and the unmaking of psychiatry New edition

From the initial shock of diagnosis, and through his growing understanding of the world of hospitals and therapies, Cristovao Tezza threads the story of his son's life with his own. He struggles with the phantom of shame, as if his son's condition were an indication of his own worth, and yearns for a 'normal' world that is always out of reach.
