No hay lugar para un cerebro lúcido en un cuerpo agotado ni para una vida en calma en una sociedad enferma.

Durante décadas hemos separado la mente del cuerpo como si fueran piezas separadas. Médicos y psicólogos suelen tratar síntomas aislados sin atender al cuadro general ni indagar en las verdaderas causas de nuestro malestar.

José Luis Marín, uno de los médicos psicoterapeutas más respetados de nuestro país, desafía la visión dominante: no hay salud mental; solo hay una salud, donde la biología, las emociones y el contexto social están profundamente entrelazados.

Partiendo de su dilatada experiencia, el doctor Marín recorre la historia de la psiquiatría desde el auge cientificista de los años setenta y la fiebre de la serotonina que él mismo secundó en sus inicios, pasando por la «invención» de trastornos mentales, hasta la progresiva psiquiatrización de la vida cotidiana.

Con lucidez, valentía y esperanza, propone un cambio de paradigma radical: dejar de tratar los síntomas y empezar a cuidar a las personas. Un libro imprescindible para comprender por qué nos sentimos mal y qué necesitamos para vivir mejor.

«No hay enfermedades, solo enfermos. Y cada enfermo es una historia que une el cuerpo con la emoción, la biografía y el mundo. Cuando olvidamos eso, la medicina deja de curar para empezar a reparar piezas». Dr. José Luis Marín

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

There is no place for a lucid brain in an exhausted body or for a calm life in a sick society.

For decades we have separated the mind from the body as if they were separate parts. Doctors and psychologists often treat isolated symptoms without looking at the bigger picture or investigating the real causes of our discomfort.

José Luis Marín, one of the most respected psychotherapists in our country, challenges the dominant view: there is no such thing as mental health; there is only health, where biology, emotions, and social context are deeply intertwined.

Drawing on his extensive experience, Dr. Marín traces the history of psychiatry from the scientific boom of the 1970s and the serotonin craze that he himself supported in its early days, through the "invention" of mental disorders, to the progressive psychiatrization of everyday life.

With lucidity, courage, and hope, he proposes a radical paradigm shift: stop treating symptoms and start caring for people. An essential book for understanding why we feel bad and what we need to live better.

"There are no diseases, only sick people. And each sick person is a story that links the body with emotion, personal history, and the world. When we forget that, medicine stops healing and starts repairing parts." --Dr. José Luis Marín

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.

Sadly, DNF
Format: Kindle
I read this thru KU. I LOVED the synopsis. And then I began reading... and it was a DNF at 68% after picking it up and putting it down several times because I really loved the main female character. *****SPOILERS***** Pros: The world is unique, intriguing and fun. The primary female character is bad-a** but not a b*tech or a mary sue. The primary female has depth. I really want to know what happens to her even tho it's been weeks and I don't remember her name. The villains to the point I read are pretty good -- an ever present threat of mysterious and possibly many culprits. Cons: Way, way too many points of view. I stopped counting at 7. It's the prime reason why I don't care about most of the characters or remember their names even when I like them. There's just too many points of view so almost none of the characters have enough book space for the author to properly develop them. This literally killed the book for me. Actually it killed my desire to read. For weeks. The main male is more villain than hero. He agreed to marry the main female then locks her up & eschews her for her sister, all while bad mouthing her as unfit to rule when he never spent any time with her getting to know her. He is actually unfit to rule as he is blind to the woes of his own kingdom and starts off a peace mission to secure a ceasefire through marriage by murdering an inn full of people in her country for no real reason. Plus, he constantly makes promises he does not keep. And it's gross of him to pine for the sister behind the main female's back. ***** As much as I really wanted to see what happened to the main female character, it wasn't enough for me to keep trying to slog thru this book. There was a lot of potential here that just fell short. Hence, 3 stars.

Fae Courts with High Intrigue
Format: Kindle
This book is one that just builds and builds and then surprises you to no end. You may think you know the villains and then you are jolted in another direction. Princess Reyna is a real gem, strong of character, a fierce fighter, and loyal to her family and kingdom. Just when you think she and Lorcan, well you know, the plot is flipped. Can't wait to see where this goes in book two.

Slow, sorry but good
Format: Kindle
This was a slow moving book. Lots of character pov chapters, lots of superfluous descriptions and endless courtly appearances stalled this book to start. Once you get into the heart of the story, it takes off. Before you know it the book is done. My favorite character is Reyna. She is so strong. She is true to herself. She gets into a lot of trouble with her headstrong ways but it's entertaining. I have high hopes for Lorcan. He is honorable to a fault. Thane had turned out to be better than I thought but i still don't like him. Eislin is useless. Great plot twists at the end. I'm looking forward too book 2.

Very detailed! Beautiful world building! Strong Heroine!
Format: Kindle
Starts off a little slow and confusing with different POV’s, but starts to all come together towards the middle to make an elaborate plot line and makes it all worth it. Beautiful world building and attention to detail as well as great writing. The cliffhanger was gut wrenching! Can’t wait for the next book!
