"Scarf is a clear and responsible journalist who knows how to highlight her writing with a warm personal touch while keeping her own judgments in the background. Her book is an intelligent popular introduction to the range of new thinking on human behavior."
—Kirkus Reviews

"Maggie Scarf is a 'popularizer' of contemporary work in psychiatry and mental health in the best sense of the word. Her stance is critical yet open-minded, her reporting is accurate and lucid. I hope this book will receive the widespread attention it deserves."
—Thomas S. Szasz, M.D.
