New popular science book on psychiatry and evidence by Mikael Landén

A new book, written by Mikael Landén, professor of general psychiatry with a special focus on women’s mental illness at the University of Gothenburg, is about to be published. The book, “Galenskapen – en bok om vetenskap” (Madness – a book about science), provides, among other things, a historical review of medical history, from bleeding and exorcism to neuroleptics and psychotherapy. In an interview on Swedish Radio, Mikael Landén says that he hopes the book will contribute to a better understanding of what evidence really is, especially among decision-makers and healthcare professionals.
