Grifting Depression
«“Grifting Depression by Dr. Allan Leventhal smacks you in the face and tries to wake you up. The book systematically dismantles the ‘con’ that is promoted by the drug industry and organized psychiatry to push medications we call antidepressants. Reading the book is like someone telling you how a magic trick is done. Once you know how the trick is done you will never be able to see the trick in the same way. Your new amazement will be about how you could have been fooled for so long.” —David Antonuccio, Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine»
Whereas the diagnosis, explanation, and treatment of physical illness are scientifically sound, this is not true of psychiatric care of mental disorder. Depression, the #1 psychiatric diagnosis, illustrates this failure and it is the subject of this book. Les mer

"In Grifting Depression, clinical psychologist Dr. Allan Leventhal has written an exceptionally clear and persuasive critique of the use of antidepressant drugs to treat depression, as well as a cogent exploration of psychological alternatives.” —Irving Kirsch, Aauthor of The Emperor’s New Drugs and Associate Director of the Program in Placebo Studies, Harvard Medical School
