Now it All Makes Sense: Recovery Through Self-Knowledge

Author(s) : William J. Stockton

Reviews and Endorsements

'Dr William Stockton has written an important clinical book, Now It all Makes Sense. He addresses "mind" in its multi-layered complexity, including its rich connections with heart and soul. In clear, unadorned prose he avoids both biological and psychodynamic reductionism while speaking out cogently against the trend, driven substantially by for-profit entities, to turn psychiatrists into prescribers and psychiatry into a primarily medication prescribing profession. Through gripping clinical vignettes he documents, among other things, that medications, "...no matter how precisely designed ...[cannot]... resolve emotional conflicts that impair the decisions and actions required of a productive person." This sort of rich presentation of complex situations in motion is all too rare in modern psychiatric writing and will prove to be of enormous interest and value to those legions of psychiatric residents and colleagues wishing to hone their psychotherapy skills. It is the equivalent of a master's series for dancers or writers. It is a most worthy and valuable contribution that deserves the widest possible readership.'
