Abstract

Alors que durant le XXe siècle la société française cristallise de nouvelles peurs sociales en construisant des figures de déviants et en s'attachant à certaines substances comme les psychotropes, la publicité promeut et valorise ces mêmes produits. L'ouvrage montre qu'en dépit d'un cadre juridique très contraignant, la publicité en faveur de ces produits devient de plus en plus imaginative.

Abstract

Connaissiez-vous l'importance du DSM? Né aux États-Unis après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il est devenu dans les années 1980, avec plus de trois cents maladies mentales répertoriées, le Manuel diagnostique de référence de la psychiatrie mondiale, y compris en France.Pourquoi un tel succès? Qu'a-t-il révolutionné dans la pratique clinique? Et d'où vient que les psychiatres américains l'ont imposé en dépit de partis pris contestables? L'enquête magistrale menée par Christopher Lane - profitant des archives inédites de l'Association américaine de psychiatrie - nous ouvre les coulisses de cette vaste et ubuesque entreprise de classification des "troubles" mentaux, subventionnée par les géants de la pharmacie, appuyée par la surpuissante FDA (Food and Drug Administration), bénéficiant du concours des universités, de la complicité des médias, et du redoutable savoir-faire des agences de publicité.Car avant de vendre un médicament, il faut vendre la maladie. Et cela n'a jamais été aussi vrai que pour le "Trouble de l'anxiété sociale ", pathologie vedette aux États-Unis, qui, à en croire le DSM, caractérise indifféremment la timidité, ou bien la peur d'uriner dans des toilettes publiques, ou tout simplement celle de faire une gaffe. Comment en sommes-nous arrivés là? Quelles stratégies ont été mises en place pour imposer la priorité de la recherche diagnostique sur la pratique clinique? Comment l'histoire de la psychiatrie a-t-elle pu être aussi radicalement réécrite comme si Freud et la psychanalyse n'avaient jamais existé? Un livre percutant qui vient à point nommé éclairer un débat d'actualité bien connu des Français, premiers consommateurs européens de psychotropes.

Abstract

In this volume, Shorter presents a revealing account of why psychiatry is 'losing ground' in the struggle to treat depression. It focuses on an unexpected villain - the FDA, the very agency charged with ensuring drug safety and effectiveness. Shorter describes how the FDA permits companies to test new products only against placebo.

Abstract

This edited volume provides an answer to a rising public health concern: what drives the over prescription of psychiatric medication epidemic? Over 15% of the UK public takes a psychiatric medication on any given day, and the numbers are only set to increase. Placing this figure alongside the emerging clinical and scientific data revealing their poor outcomes and the harms these medications often cause, their commercial success cannot be explained by their therapeutic efficacy. Chapters from an interdisciplinary team of global experts in critical psychopharmacology rigorously examine how pharmaceutical sponsorship and marketing, diagnostic inflation, the manipulation and burying of negative clinical trials, lax medication regulation, and neoliberal public health policies have all been implicated in ever-rising psycho-pharmaceutical consumption. This volume will ignite a long-overdue public debate. It will be of interest to professionals in the field of mental health and researchers ranging from sociology of health, to medical anthropology and the political economy of health.
