CRACKED: WHY PSYCHIATRY IS DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD

Book ID/图书代码： 00530014B75713

English Summary/英文概要： Why is psychiatry such big business? Why are so many psychiatric drugs prescribed - 47 million antidepressant prescriptions in the UK alone last year - and why, without solid scientific justification, has the number of mental disorders risen from 106 in 1952 to 374 today? The everyday sufferings and setbacks of life are now ’medicalised’ into illnesses that require treatment - usually with highly profitable drugs. Psychological therapist James Davies uses his insider knowledge to illustrate for a general readership how psychiatry has put riches and medical status above patients’ well-being. The charge sheet is damning: negative drug trials routinely buried; antidepressants that work no better than placebos; research regularly manipulated to produce positive results; doctors, seduced by huge pharmaceutical rewards, creating more disorders and prescribing more pills; and ethical, scientific and treatment flaws unscrupulously concealed by mass-marketing. Cracked reveals for the first time the true human cost of an industry that, in the name of helping others, has actually been helping itself.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 为什么精神科是一个如此庞大的行业？为什么有这么多的精神病药物被开出来，仅仅去年在英国就有4700万种抗抑郁药的处方？为什么精神病种类从1952年的106种升至今天的374种，在没有可靠的科学根据作为后盾的情况下？如今，我们在日常生活中遭遇的困难挫折常被“诊断”为需要治疗的疾病。医生经常会开出一些高收益的药物。心理治疗师詹姆斯•戴维斯透露了一些内情以便向普通大众阐明精神治疗是如何将利益与医疗地位凌驾于病人的身体健康之上。收费单常常是令人恼怒的，通常是阴性的药物试验结果；抗抑郁药还不如安慰剂效果来得好；调查研究经常会被处理以致产生积极的效果；而医生们在诱人的制药回报的驱使下，会捏造出更多的紊乱病情和开出更多的药；伦理，科学，处方瑕疵已被大规模的市场销售所无道德原则地忽略。《Cracked》一书第一次揭露了真正的人力成本的一个行业，借着帮助他人的名义，但实际上是在帮助他们自己。(LNL)
