Doctors' stories -- Betting on anatomy -- Biology in disarray -- A fragile freudian triumph -- Crisis and revolt -- Disease stories -- Schizophrenia -- Depression -- Manic-depression -- Unfinished stories -- False dawn -- Afterthoughts -- Notes -- Guide to further reading -- Index.
In Mind Fixers, Anne Harrington, author of The Cure Within, explores psychiatry's repeatedly frustrated struggle to understand mental disorder in biomedical terms. She shows how the stalling of early twentieth-century efforts in this direction allowed Freudians and social scientists to insist, with some justification, that they had better ways of analyzing and fixing minds.
