Following the extremely successful first edition, we are moving on to the second edition of a book by an author, a psychiatrist with extensive clinical and educational experience, who makes an original and bold analogy: mental illness is treated as an embedded program of the computer, so that early childhood experiences are regarded as commands that make the later adult decide in a specific way that is self-evident to them.
In this way, the author explores serious mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, and psychogenic anorexia.
He then proposes a treatment approach called "provocative psychotherapy," which requires a kind of violent shock in order to reshape the mental "program" of the sufferer.
This book is aimed at both mental health professionals and anyone interested in the mental process, and serves as a fresh and exciting introduction to the most difficult and complex mental disorders, as well as a comprehensive proposal for a way the human mind operates.
