Bentall is one of psychiatry's most eloquent enemies . . . the
drugs don't work
*Sunday Times*
It is the very balance of his approach that drives his opponents
crazy . . . Passionate . . . a brave book
*Observer*
Bentall pulls no punches . . . his credentials ensure that his
punches carry weight
*Guardian*
Paints a stark picture of a mental health system riddled with
corruption and incompetence
*The Times*
Wonderful. Everyone personally or professionally concerned with
mental health should read this . . . I dearly wish it could be put
into the hands of the politicians and their advisors who make
decisions about the life and rights of others
*Hilary Mantel*
At a time when dialogue in the presence of other human beings is
becoming less and less available, this brave book gives a sense of
why this could be disastrous
*Salley Vickers, Observer*
