Finally, a book that explains everything you ever wanted to
know about psychiatry! In Shrink Rap, three psychiatrists from different
specialties provide frank answers to questions such as: • What is psychotherapy, how does it work, and why don't all
psychiatrists do it?• When are medications helpful?• What
happens on a psychiatric unit?• Can Prozac make people
suicidal?• Why do many doctors not like Xanax?• Why do we
have an insanity defense?• Why do people confess to crimes
they didn't commit? Based on the authors' hugely popular blog and podcast
series, this book is for patients and everyone else who is
curious about how psychiatrists work. Using compelling
patient vignettes, Shrink Rap explains how psychiatrists
think about and address the problems they encounter, from
the mundane (how much to charge) to the controversial
(involuntary hospitalization). The authors face the field's
shortcomings head-on, revealing what other doctors may not
admit about practicing psychiatry. Candid and humorous, Shrink Rap gives a closeup view of
psychiatry, peering into technology, treatments, and the
business of the field. If you've ever wondered how
psychiatry really works, let the Shrink Rappers explain.
