Review
Dr. Molly Niv debunks the assumption that any mental disorder from mild depression to raging schizophrenia can be cured by the right medicine and stands firm against the "biologization" of psychiatry with her provocative, scholarly book, Reason In Madness. She sides with Existentialists when asserting that what wrong we do and right we do not, affects our psychological well-being more profoundly than external events and traumata. Dr. Niv finds that crucial moral violations, and the ravages of guilt consequent to them, to be the real causes of mental illness. Hostility, deception, and defiance are some of the toxic ingredients that can change the body's chemistry and produce psychotic illness is Niv's assertion. Provocative, challenging reading! -- Midwest Book Review
