“A HISTORY OF PSYCHIATRIC MARKETING” – TALKING TO ROBERT WHITAKER.

Mad in Mexico - January 5, 2024 0
What could I ask him that had not been asked before or that he had not already
written? It was the question I asked myself every time I considered the
possibility of dialogue, a question that was formulated based on my admiration
for Robert and his work. Finally, under the pretext of the research project
“Processes of Deinstitutionalization of Madness”, I decided to propose this
interview.

Mad in the UK - January 2, 2024 0

antidepressants to cognitive behavioural therapy does not result in better
outcomes—psychotherapy alone is just as good in the short term. And therapy
alone beats the drugs when it comes to long-term outcomes.
