Review: Decepcionante,pelo menos quanto às minhas expectativas. Aguardava um tratado extensivo quanto à história da psiquiatria desde seus primórdios,um trabalho acadêmico de peso,e,na verdade,é um livro quase sinóptico,um "resumão",e com um modo de nomear cronologicamente as etapas históricas do conhecimento psiquiátrico que serve mais para gerar confusão,no meu entender.
Review: It was well written and the facts are layed out in away that us easy to understand. I highly recommend this book who is interested in the history of psychiatry.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by H***N on 23 July 2016*

Books by Edward Shorter have never disappointed me. This one however seems special. Mister Shorter has invested enormous amounts of research into every chapter of this book, and it really shows. Lots of details, lots of obscure litte specifics and minutiae. I have read other books on this topic, but I like this one the best. Summary: Wonderful book. Everyone interested in the history psychiatry MUST read this one!
