1:02:52Now PlayingA psychiatrist in private practice and a professor at Brown Medical School, Kramer is best-known as the author of Listening to Prozac, a deeply researched and balanced look at the role of psychopharmacology in treating depression. As biomedical research has progressed and new medications have been developed for psychological disorders, the backlash against such chemical treatment has also continued. Kramer’s new book updates the arguments for and against medication; combining the history of psychotherapy with recent studies, data with clinical evidence, hard science with human compassion, he shows that antidepressants are not a miracle cure, but that they offer real and lasting therapeutic benefit to thousands.
Kramer is in conversation with Judith Warner, author of Perfect Madness and We’ve Got Issues.
