About this ebook
This book takes a critical look at psychiatric research, factors which compromise its integrity and which may steer us from paths that lead to healing. The lack of informed consent is a major problem in research, in which subjects are in emotional distress. This work suggests an alternative vision, one backed by scientific research and which can be lifesaving for persons going through crisis. Read this work if you want to take an independent look at the science involved, and a more effective way to help people.
