Críticas
New Scientist "[Kirsch's] case that the drugs' benefits are due to placebo and enhanced placebo effect is fascinating and demands urgent research...Clearly, it's time for a big rethink of what constitutes mental illness and about how to treat it." Literary Review (UK) "[B]rilliantly subversive... a fascinating and disturbing book." Kelly Lambert, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Randolph-Macon College; President, International Behavioral Neuroscience Society; Author of Lifting Depression "Considering the crude and nonspecific therapies that have been historically available for depression, the thought of a pill acting as an effective agent against the tumultuous symptoms of this disease was appealing to everyone in the mental health industry. But, as Irving Kirsch points out in this provocative and informative treatise, The Emperor's New Drugs, this dream ultimately turned out to be a fairy tale. There was no prince of healing to provide the promised relief for patients. Kudos to Dr. Kirsch for his impressive scientific investigative reporting described in this book, forcing our attention away from the fairy tale and toward the reality of more effective treatment strategies for depression." David D. Burns, author of Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy "A beautifully written, profoundly important book." Druin Burch, author of Taking the Medicine "A terrific account of how optimism, greed and scientific incompetence have misled us about the nature of depression and the drugs we throw at it." Psychology Today "[The Emperor's New Drugs] absolutely dismantles the case for antidepressants as a pharmacologically effective treatment." Publishers Weekly "Writing with a broad audience in mind, Kirsch expands on this important topic in a lively style with clear, cogent explanations of the science involved, and many examples of the differences between solid and flawed research. The result is a fascinating book with broad implications for science policy." St. Petersburg Times "Measured and laserlike in focus...The Emperor's New Drugs dismantles the case for antidepressants as a pharmacologically effective treatment." Charlotte Observer "Kirsch...uses clear no-nonsense prose to marshal the extraordinary and convincing evidence needed to support his position." "New Scientist" "[Kirsch's] case that the drugs' benefits are due to placebo and enhanced placebo effect is fascinating and demands urgent research...Clearly, it's time for a big rethink of what constitutes mental illness and about how to treat it."

Reseña del editor
Do antidepressants work? Of course--everyone knows it. Like his colleagues, Irving Kirsch, a researcher and clinical psychologist, for years referred patients to psychiatrists to have their depression treated with drugs before deciding to investigate for himself just how effective the drugs actually were. Over the course of the past fifteen years, however, Kirsch's research--a thorough analysis of decades of Food and Drug Administration data--has demonstrated that what everyone knew about antidepressants was wrong. Instead of treating depression with drugs, we've been treating it with suggestion.The Emperor's New Drugs makes an overwhelming case that what had seemed a cornerstone of psychiatric treatment is little more than a faulty consensus. But Kirsch does more than just criticize: he offers a path society can follow so that we stop popping pills and start proper treatment for depression.
