It's a book from 1994, and perhaps everyone here has read it, but it came to my attention only two years ago. It changed everything I believed about medical psychiatry, and treatments. I'm now very skeptical about psychopharmacologists abilities to accomplish anything.
Somewhere else I posted about Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Love in the Times of Cholera, which is excellent, and even better in Spanish. I also mentioned that Garcia Marquez seems to be one of those Useful Idiots that promotes international communism, and keeps a friendship with a savage tyrant like Fidel Castro.
For those of you who like psychological mysteries with a great deal to say about man-woman relationships, try The Magus, by John Fowles, or The French Lieutenant's Woman, or The Collector, by the same author.
My favorite novel is The Magus. It sweeps you into an irresistible memory with all kinds of psychological implications about sexuality, etc.
Good luck,
Nickm
