- Summary
- "Looking at social, evolutionary, cross cultural, and nutritional influences. Small deconstructs mental illnesses like depression and anxiety-conditions that appear in different forms and for different reasons - within the culture that defines them. By rethinking assumptions and questioning standard treatment programs, she helps us gradually relax our grip on the medical model to discover a new perspective on mental illness."--BOOK JACKET.
