Summary
We would all like a quick fix for our problems, a simple pill to take away our anxiety and lift us out of depression. But there is no quick fix for the soul, and anxiety and depression may be signals of the soul’s unmet needs.
In this landmark book, Dr. Elio Frattaroli challenges our fixation on psychiatry’s “Medical Model,” which treats mental illness solely with drugs instead of seeking a deeper understanding of our problems - in other words, treating symptoms rather than people.
