Cal Davie ，

A very fair critical history of psychiatry。 I really felt I learnt a lot from reading this， and feel my mind is frazzled with the issues raised in defining and understanding mental illness。 I felt at times towards the end， Scull oversimplified the views of contemporary psychiatry， but nonetheless， this is a fantastic read into the history of the most controversial branch of medicine。

Becki Sims ，

A very comprehensive account of psychiatric history， it is well written and interestingly presented。 A must if you are particularly interested in this area。Many thanks to the author， publisher and NetGalley for gifting me this arc in exchange for an honest， unbiased review。
