Psychiatry today is not as advertised, as bestselling author Charles Whitfield describes in this scientifically accurate new book. It exposes the pseudo science
behind modern biological psychiatry that misdiagnoses people who have painful
emotional, psychological and behavioral symptoms as being ¿mentally ill¿ and then
mistreats them with toxic psychiatric drugs that don¿t work well or make them worse.
Dr Whitfield blows the whistle on and names the culprits that promote bio-psychiatry
for profit and control and explains why and how to avoid their mind- and body-
manipulations. Most of these culprits are the ¿Bigs,¿ which include Big Pharma, Big
Government, Big Insurance, Big Academia and Big Professional groups (as the American
Psychiatric Association, American Medical Association and the National Alliance on
Mental Illness). Each of the Bigs promotes and supports the misdiagnosis and
mistreatment of what they call ¿mental illness,¿ which Dr Whitfield documents is
instead the painful effects of repeated childhood and later trauma, which he explains
in some detail. Throughout he describes how this major problem has developed and how
to heal from it.
