Publisher's Note
Reported to turn shy people into social butterflies, improve work performance, memory, even dexterity, are we using Prozac "cosmetically" to make people more attractive? In a new Afterword, Dr. Kramer gives an updated report on Prozac in America today. This classic bestseller has sold more than 450,000 copies. Since it was introduced in 1987, Prozac has been prescribed to nearly five million Americans. But what is Prozac -- a medication, or a mental steroid? A cure for depression, or a drug that changes personality? Reported to turn shy people into social butterflies and to improve work performance, memory, even dexterity, does Prozac work on character rather than illness? Are we using it "cosmetically," to make people more attractive? More energetic, more socially acceptable? And what does it tell us about the nature of character and the mutability of self?....This edition includes an afterword that gives us an up-to-date report on Prozac in America today, including Kramer's personal observations, reactions to his critics, and the latest scientific research.
Industry reviews
"The development of powerful new drugs with fewer side effects...has enabled millions of patients to overcome longstanding problems that were unaffected by psychotherapy....[this] is the book to read if you want to think about the broad psychological, philosophical, anthropological, and sociological issues raised by these potent new drugs." Engel "A provocative and insightful exploration of Prozac's dramatic and unforeseen impact on the human psyche, as well as on the practice of psychotherapy." Rosemond "Kramer is a wonderful writer, and his readers will learn much about the new research on temperament and personality, biological theories of mood disorders, and the behind-the-scenes stories of how psychiatric drugs were discovered or invented." Rosemond
