In this book, Joel Paris traces the history of the transition of psychiatry back into the medical mainstream, placing it in the context of current trends in science and medicine. He illustrates the story using interviews with prominent academic psychiatrists in Canada and the United States, and describes his own experiences as a psychiatrist: how he was caught up in the psychoanalytic model, how he became disillusioned with it, and how he came to a new and more scientific view of the discipline
