Dr. Nardi, a psychologist and psychiatrist and creator of the New England Psychiatry Mentorship Institute (NEPMI), interviews Bob Whitaker about his work, particularly his 2010 book Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America.

(as in responding to a podcast, as insightful as it it, never the less a medium detached and removed from human. To address a management perspective outside of the psych experience, see Russell Ackoff’s Redesigning Society. The language unique to psychology and psychiatry may also be part of the problem. Thanks again.
