Mind control

by Peter Schrag

In the past generation, there has been a fundamental shift in the way government and other organizations control the lives and behavior of individuals. No single method and no single phrase adequately describe it — it is both too subtle and too pervasive — but it represents a radical change in the way people are treated and in the relationship between the citizen, his employer, the state, and the state’s institutions.

[Kimber · Rating 2 out of 5]

Written in 1978, a historical perspective of the roots of our health system, as well as mental health system/dsm manual. A perspective on how it came to be, its early reliance on useless drugs and stupid diagnoses. This was not a fun book to read, very dull, pedantic but an interesting source of hard to find information. Its a part of our history that seems to have been rewritten.
