Manufacturing Victims: What the Psychology Industry Is Doing to People

After thirty years in the profession Dr. Tana Dineen has written an unflinching critique of modern Psychology and Psychotherapy. This controversial best-selling expos of the Psychology Industry was first published in 1996. Now available in its revised updated and less expensive 3rd edition it is no less popular nor less explosive than when it first appeared. Cited in Time and the New York Times among other wide-circulation publications Tana Dineens scathing attack on the abuses and misuses of corrupted psychotherapy is a must read for care-givers and care-takers alike. And for would-be care-takers too. Topics covered include Victim-Making Fabricated Victims Selling Psychology as a Science The Business of Psychology The Technology of Victim-Making The Rise to Power of the Psychology Industry and Living in the Shadow of the Psychology Industry. Fully supported by end of book notes and index and with a suggested reading list this is one of the most important books on psychology to appear in recent years. The author has been often–and always unsuccessfully–attacked by representatives of corporate psychology who have resorted to character assassination rather than reason to try and prove Dr. Dineen wrong.
