by Mel Greaves (2000)

A comprehensive analysis of the disease with a lucidity that will engage both layman and specialist readers alike.

How our animal heritage affects the way we live
by Jared Diamond (1991)

How the human species changed, within a short time, from just another species of big mammal to a world conqueror; and how we acquired the capacity to reverse all that progress overnight.

by Richard P. Bentall

Central to this book argument is Bentall’s proposal to “abandon psychiatric diagnoses altogether and instead try to explain and understand the actual experiences and behaviours of psychotic people”, that this approach will provide a richer account of aetiology than using Kraepelinian paradigm. Madness is a matter of opinion, and psychiatric problems must be approached from multiple perspectives.
