Lakoff presents an arresting case-study highlighting the social and political implications of a new 'pharmaceutical' way of thinking about and acting upon human behaviour and human thought. Drawing from a comprehensive ethnography of psychiatric practice in Argentina, this will appeal beyond psychiatry and the life sciences.
