Ep. 25 Author/Journalist Robert Whitaker: A Frank Conversation about the Past, Present and Future of Benzodiazepines

In this podcast Garrett and I have the pleasure of interviewing Robert Whitaker who is the author of four books, and co-author of a fifth, three of which tell the history of psychiatry. In 2010, his Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness won the U.S. Investigative Reporters and Editors Book Award for Best Investigative Journalism. He is the founder of madinamerica.com, a website that features research news and blogs by an international group of writers interested in “rethinking psychiatry.”
