The Emperor's New Drugs: Exploding the Antidepressant Myth
Autor Irving Kirschen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 mar 2011 – vârsta de la 13 ani
Irving
Kirsch
has
the
world
doubting
the
efficacy
of
antidepressants.
Based
on
fifteen
years
of
research,The
Emperor's
New
Drugsmakes
an
overwhelming
case
that
what
the
medical
community
considered
a
cornerstone
of
psychiatric
treatment
is
little
more
than
a
faulty
consensus.
But
Kirsch
does
more
than
just
criticize:
He
offers
a
path
society
can
follow
to
stop
popping
pills
and
start
proper
treatment.

Recenzii
New
Scientist
“[Kirsch’s] case that the drugs’ benefits are due to placebo and enhanced placebo effect is fascinating and demands urgent research…Clearly, it's time for a big rethink of what constitutes mental illness and about how to treat it.”
Literary Review(UK)
“[B]rilliantly subversive… a fascinating and disturbing book.”
Kelly Lambert, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Randolph-Macon College; President, International Behavioral Neuroscience Society; Author ofLifting Depression
“Considering the crude and nonspecific therapies that have been historically available for depression, the thought of a pill acting as an effective agent against the tumultuous symptoms of this disease was appealing to everyone in the mental health industry. But, as Irving Kirsch points out in this provocative and informative treatise,The Emperor’s New Drugs, this dream ultimately turned out to be a fairy tale. There was no prince of healing to provide the promised relief for patients. Kudos to Dr. Kirsch for his impressive scientific investigative reporting described in this book, forcing our attention away from the fairy tale and toward the reality of more effective treatment strategies for depression.”
David D. Burns, author of

Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy
“A beautifully written, profoundly important book.”
Druin Burch, author ofTaking the Medicine
“A terrific account of how optimism, greed and scientific incompetence have misled us about the nature of depression and the drugs we throw at it.”
Psychology Today
“[The Emperor’s New Drugs] absolutely dismantles the case for antidepressants as a pharmacologically effective treatment.”
Publishers Weekly
“Writing with a broad audience in mind, Kirsch expands on this important topic in a lively style with clear, cogent explanations of the science involved, and many examples of the differences between solid and flawed research. The result is a fascinating book with broad implications for science policy.”
St. Petersburg Times
“Measured and laserlike in focus…The Emperor's New Drugsdismantles the case for antidepressants as a pharmacologically effective treatment.”
Charlotte Observer
“Kirsch…uses clear no-nonsense prose to marshal the extraordinary and convincing evidence needed to support his position.”

Everyone knows that antidepressant drugs are miracles of modern medicine. But, as he discovered during his research, there is a problem with what everyone knows about antidepressant drugs. and, there are other ways to combat depression, treatments that don't only include the empty promise of the antidepressant prescription.
