The Psychopath Test: A Journey Through the Madness Industry by Jon Ronson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Certainly a book that shows the ambivalence, problems and challenges of psychology, especially today.
We need to protect us, but also not at every cost, there are some people, that just won’t fit into society and others that fit charmingly well, but are dangerous. Jon Ronson went on a journey from denialists of psychologic illnesses to people who overdiagnose children who are simply reacting to a sick world.
I think this book is very important, especially for people working in medicine, child care, law or media. Esentially it’s interesting for everyone and I enjoyed it thorougly.
If you’re unsure, check out Jon Ronsons Ted Talk on the subject. That’s where I got hooked.
