Quotes by Edward Shorter

“If there is one central intellectual reality at the end of the twentieth century, it is that the biological approach to psychiatry--treating mental illness as a genetically influenced disorder of brain chemistry--has been a smashing success. Freud's ideas, which dominated the history of psychiatry for the past half century, are now vanishing like the last snows of winter.”
― Edward Shorter, A History of Psychiatry: From the Era of the Asylum to the Age of Prozac
