A new book by the famous psychiatrist Anatoly Dobrovich, now living in Israel, gives a more or less realistic idea of psychiatry. The author chose the statement of the outstanding German philosopher and psychiatrist Karl Jaspers as the key methodological position: “The states of psychosis cannot be derived from “psychologically understandable” connections and cannot be reduced to them.”
A new book by the famous psychiatrist Anatoly Dobrovich, now living in Israel, gives a more or less realistic idea of psychiatry. The author chose the statement of the outstanding German philosopher and psychiatrist Karl Jaspers as the key methodological position: “The states of psychosis cannot be derived from “psychologically understandable” connections and cannot be reduced to them.” And yet, why do people «go crazy» and what does it mean — not in the ordinary, but in the medical sense? What is the difference between a psychosis that occurs in a few and a neurosis that many complain of? What is depression — not in the colloquial sense («he left me, I’m depressed»), but in the true (clinical) sense of the word? What underlies such mental disorders and how are they treated? The book helps to distinguish psychiatry itself from literary and cinematic subjects with claims to psychiatric competence and teaches healthy «skepticism about the many advisers, mentors and miracle workers who have set their stalls in the international market for services.»
