History of Psychiatry and "Modern" Psychology

History of Psychiatry & "Modern" Psychology

The following books examine and find serious fault with the theories and practices of psychiatry and "modern" psychology. Psychiatry's actual history clearly shows the barbaric and damaging nature of it's methods, which are packaged and sold to an unsuspecting public under a facade of phony scientific jargon and confusing nomenclature. "Psychology" is defined as "the study of the mind or soul". Psychiatry and "modern" psychology have both long since abandoned any hope of ever understanding or "solving" the mind or it's problems, and instead deal with animal behavior, environmental forces, genetics, heredity, and biochemistry - while pretending to deal with the subject of the "mind".

Both fields have detoured so very far from any legitimate understading of Man, the human mind, and a human being's personal relationship to the world around them. The application of their theories and methods cause more harm than good - consistently and in an increasingly worse way.
