Link to the Show / Show NotesDr. Kevin Keough, host of North Star Guardians, interviews Dr. Jerome C. Wakefield, co-author of The Loss of Sadness: How Psychiatry Transformed Normal Sorrow into Depressive Disorder published by Oxford University Press.
We experienced minor audio recording difficulties that appear near
the end of the first of a two part interview with Dr. Wakefield.
Please accept our apologies for this technical problem that hasn't
proven easy to eliminate. We intend to edit out the snafu as soon as
possible. We thank Dr, Wakefield for a stimulating and informative
conversation and his graciousness and patience re: a delay in posting
this podcast.
Jerome C. Wakefield is University
Professor and Professor of Social Work at New York University, and he
has also taught at the University of Chicago, Columbia University, and
Rutgers University. He is an authority on the intersection between
philosophy and the mental health professions and the author of many
articles on diagnosis of mental disorder. Visit his webpage.
