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.

  1. Great Podcast, but what did you do with the integration of the ARTS/Sciences? To think about what it means to be human seemingly is not a picking up of tempo but rather to relax and engage in communication. What role does the tech play as the in between is a societal experience is drawn into a form of “work” monetized falsely through the tech of affirming the thinking through tech to the exclusion of the human? (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.
