Description
A recently published book provides sharp criticism of the modern era of clinical psychopharmacology, questioning the validity of psychiatric diagnoses and the effectiveness of psychopharmacologic treatments. In this podcast, Dr. Anthony J. Rothschild, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, offers his perspective on the book, The Rise and Fall of the Age of Psychopharmacology. The book “ignores the fact that many people with serious psychiatric disorders have had their lives dramatically improved by psychotropic medications,” Dr. Rothschild says, noting that he vehemently disagrees with how the book’s author characterizes the profession. The podcast accompanies Dr. Rothschild’s editorial in the July-August 2022 issue of the journal.
