Book Description
“Gary Greenberg has become the Dante of our psychiatric age, and the DSM-5 is his Inferno.” —Errol Morris Since its debut in 1952, the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders has set down the “official” view on what constitutes mental illness. Homosexuality, for instance, was a mental illness until 1973. Each revision has created controversy, but the DSM-5 has taken fire for encouraging doctors to diagnose more illnesses—and to prescribe sometimes unnecessary or harmful medications. Respected author and practicing psychotherapist Gary Greenberg embedded himself in the war that broke out over the fifth edition, and returned with an unsettling tale. Exposing the deeply flawed process behind the DSM-5’s compilation, The Book of Woe reveals how the manual turns suffering into a commodity—and made the APA its own biggest beneficiary.

Book Description
When life turns sour for Nathanael, a columnist for the New Florence magazine The Poet, he inadvertently sets into motion a course of events that will take him through Hell itself for a solution, forever changing not only his life, but the world. After having his submission for the Fall Music Festival shot down for the umpteenth time, he travels to the local watering hole, The Bottom of the Hill, to drown his sorrows in the company of his good friend Julian. In the course of their conversation, Nathanael unwittingly makes an offer for a answer to his problems: his eternal soul. He's greeted by Collin, a mysterious man sent from a place he calls "the Inferno" to take Nathanael through Hell to both grant him a story guaranteed to succeed with his editor and to meet Collin's mysterious employer to negotiate his offer. If he can make it through the gruesome scenery and tortures of the Inferno, he'll have fortune, fame, and the irresistible story he's been looking for, and all for the low, low price of an eternity in Hell.
