The name of the author sounds vaguely familiar. Is it possible I read an excerpt in the New Yorker a couple of years ago? If so, he was the one who talked about psychopharm treatment as like a game of darts, and quoted Chekhov saying something about how you can tell if something can be cured or not because the things that can't be cured have a lot more treatments. And, he described going to a support group meeting and suddenly realizing how depressing it was to sit among a group of depressed people. Anyway, don't know if it is the same author. Kind of hope it is.
Thanks for the rec--I'll look for it.
