A 8220clar, witty, and engaging8221(The
Boston Globe) journey through the brain
that connects neuroscience, biology, and culture.
An 8220inellectual landmark8221(Edward Shorter
, Literary Review of Canada).The current view of
delusions8212th strange beliefs
4
held by people with schizophrenia and other
psychiatric illnesses8212isthat they are
the result of biology gone awry, of neurons in
the brain misfiring. In Suspicious Minds, Dr.
Joel Gold and his brother Ian Gold argue that
delusions are the result of the interaction
between the brain and the social world. They
present 8220adual broadside against a
psychiatric profession that has become
infatuated with neuroscience as part of its
longstanding attempt to establish itself as
8216rel medicine,8217and against a culture
that has become too networked for its own
good8221(The New York Times). The book
8220amunts to nothing less than a
frontal8212orperhaps pre-frontal8212chllenge
to the dominant view of modern psychiatry, which
looks to neuroscience to explain disorders of the
mind8221(The Washington Post). In 8220adroll
Oliver Sacksian tone8221(The Village Voice),
the Golds reveal intriguing case studies the man
who was dead and in hell, the woman who could
raise the dead at Ground Zero, the man who killed
God, and the people who believed they were like
the characters in the film The Truman Show.
These 8220pae-turning case studies8221(New
Republic) of delusion 8220ofer a fascinating
and intimate portrait of psychosis8221(Scientifi
c American). 8220Thy provide more proof that
no fantasist can hope to match the
wonders8212an horrors8212ofthe human
mind8221(The Washington Post).
