| Book Subtitle | Institutional Corruption, Social Injury, And Prescriptions For Reform |
| Book Description | Psychiatry Under the Influence investigates the actions and practices of the American Psychiatric Association and academic psychiatry in the United States, and presents it as a case study of institutional corruption. |
| Editorial Review | This is an extraordinary piece of work that should be read by every mental health professional, minimally. The book might also serve well as a supplemental advanced undergraduate or graduate textbook in a psychopathology or even a research methods class. Where research methods courses separate good from bad science, Whitaker and Cosgrove have now provided us with numerous examples of bad science to which we can now add, corrupt science. (Fred Ernst, Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy, Vol. 46, 216) |
