Saving Normal by Allen Frances Summary
Overview of Saving Normal

The Medicalization of Everyday Life: How Normal Became a Disease
Imagine a world where being shy makes you mentally ill, where grieving a loved one's death becomes a psychiatric disorder, and where childhood tantrums are treated with powerful antipsychotics. This isn't dystopian fiction-it's modern America, where one in five adults takes psychiatric medication and millions of children receive mind-altering drugs for increasingly normal behaviors. Dr. Allen Frances, who chaired the DSM-IV Task Force (psychiatry's diagnostic bible), delivers a shocking insider's account of how psychiatric diagnosis has spun dangerously out of control. What makes this expose particularly powerful is that it comes not from an anti-psychiatry crusader, but from one of the field's most respected figures who helped create the very system he now criticizes.
