Book excerpt: “Gary Greenberg has become the Dante of our psychiatric age, and the DSM-5 is his Inferno.” —Errol Morris Since its debut in 1952, the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has set down the “official” view on what constitutes mental illness. Homosexuality, for instance, was a mental illness until 1973. Each revision has created controversy, but the DSM-5 has taken fire for encouraging doctors to diagnose more illnesses—and to prescribe sometimes unnecessary or harmful medications. Respected author and practicing psychotherapist Gary Greenberg embedded himself in the war that broke out over the fifth edition, and returned with an unsettling tale. Exposing the deeply flawed process behind the DSM-5’s compilation, The Book of Woe reveals how the manual turns suffering into a commodity—and made the APA its own biggest beneficiary.

Download or read book Tales of Woe written by John Reed and published by powerHouse Books. This book was released on 2010-08-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True stories of totally undeserved suffering. Spectacularly depressing. Nobody gets their just deserts. Crushing defeats. No happy endings. Abject misery. Pointless, endless grief. No lessons of temperance or moderation. No saving grace. No divine intervention. No salvation. Sin, suffering, redemption. That's the movie, that's the front page news, that's the story of popular culture-of American culture. A ray of hope. A comeuppance. An all-for-the-best. Makes it easier to deal with the world's misery-to know that there's a reason behind it, that it'll always work out in the end, that people get what they deserve. The fact: sometimes people suffer for no reason. No sin, no redemption-just suffering, suffering, suffering. Tales of Woe compiles today's most awful narratives of human wretchedness. This is not Hollywood catharsis (someone overcomes something and the viewer is uplifted), this is the katharsis of Ancient Greece: you watch people suffer horribly, and then feel better about your own life. Tales of Woe tells stories of murder, accident, depravity, cruelty, and senseless unhappiness: and all true. The Tales: strange, unexpected, morbidly enticing. Told straight-with elegance, restraint, and simplicity. The design: a one-of-kind white text on black paper, fluidly readable, and coupled with fifty pages of full-color art.

Download or read book Woe to You Me written by Tyler Cecil and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would you recognize Jesus today? This question evades most of us our entire lives. However, as Christians, this idea and its subsequent queries should lead our everyday lives. Emphasizing the most progressive sect of Jesus’ day—the Pharisees—this book takes the reader on a journey to uncover the political, religious, and social elements which hindered the greatest religious leaders of Jewish antiquity from seeing Jesus for who he truly was. If we cannot understand how Jesus was missed by those who claimed to love and know God more than anyone else, we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes. Through the revelations encountered in this book, the reader will be faced with facts which directly contrast what we’ve come to believe about these men. These men aren’t who we’ve been led to believe . . . not even close. In fact, the reader will be confronted with an earth-shattering ultimatum: Who do we identify with more? The Pharisees? Or Jesus? The answer to this question has the ability to transform our understanding of Jesus and how we interact with him in our everyday lives. Furthermore, the answer to this question can transform our lives to become ones marked by humility and wisdom like we never knew possible.

Download or read book Woe Woe Woe and Then Armageddon written by John A. Pinkston and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-04-14 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One-third of the Bible concerns prophecy, and yet our religious leaders often do not understand these prophecies and do not teach them. Most scriptural prophecies reside in the Old Testament and in Revelation in the New Testament, and most direct our attention to the final years of human government on this earth. These final years are here at last. In Woe! Woe! Woe! And then Armageddon: A Prophecy of the End Time, minister and author John A. Pinkston guides us deep into understanding of biblical prophecy and how it links to history and to the present, where catastrophicand foretoldevents are driving inexorably toward the return of Jesus Christ and the battle of Armageddon. Pinkston does not claim to be a prophet, but his forty years of experience in ministry and extensive research into biblical prophecies help him understand how current worldwide events are leading to the fulfillment of the words of the Old and New Testaments. With full scriptural support, each chapter explores in depth a prophecy of the Bible and the issues it raises. The Bible, the Word of God, holds the answers to all questions about prophecy and the end time, and there is no greater question than What should we do now? To that, the Bible offers the only advice, If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (II Chronicles 7:14)
