Description: Stephen S. Hall reviews 'Of Two Minds: The Growing Disorder in American Psychiatry' by T. M. Luhrmann.
Young doctors studying to be psychiatrists must often choose between two seemingly contradictory points of view. The Growing Disorder in American Psychiatry. here is a popular aphorism among research scientists to the effect that if, in the course of performing an experiment, you pose the question in the wrong way, you are doomed to arrive at the wrong answer. That bit of scientific folklore occurred to me repeatedly as I made my way through ''Of Two Minds: The Growing Disorder in American Psychiatry,'' T. M. Luhrmann's fascinating anthropological study of the way young doctors learn to be psychiatrists. What becomes clear, as one reads deeper into her book, is that we are in the midst of an enormous social and medical experiment about the way we deal with mental illness in this country. Not only have we posed the question incorrectly, according to Luhrmann, but we are doomed to reach a tragically wrong, and profoundly immoral, answer by doing so.
