Negative Positive
Title: Psychiatry - the tabloid version
Review: This book was a major disappointment. Flatly written, with editing errors even in the names of medications, this book displayed a depth of ignorance about psychiatry, psychiatrists and contemporary psychotherapy. As an experienced psychiatrist, familiar with McLean, the hospital which is described in the story in slightly disguised form, I can assure the public that junior staff are thoroughly supervised, have no time to run around playing detective and would not be allowed to violate boundaries between professional and personal in the way depicted.What about poetic or artistic license, you may ask...Well, for that argument you need a work of art, which I would argue this book is not.
Is the review positive or negative?
