In the second episode of the series, we invite Professor Sami Timimi, consultant psychiatrist, psychotherapist, researcher and author, and of course a member of the Critical Psychiatry Network (CPN).

In this session, he outlines the themes from his recently published book Insane Medicine. He discussed the frailty of the psychiatric diagnostic system and the fact that several decades of apparent innovation have borne no fruit in terms of improved outcomes from treatment, amongst other captivating subjects.

In the first episode of the series, we invite Professor Joanna Moncrieff, consultant psychiatrist, a part-time academic and author, and one of the founding members of the Critical Psychiatry Network (CPN).

In this session, she talks about her experience in psychiatry training, how she became more critical of many aspects of the mainstream psychiatry practice and she goes into more detail about her interest in psychiatric drugs. She also explains her drug centred model, as opposed to the disease centred model.
