Reviews

An intelligent thoughtful look at what it is to be human, through the lens of science and philosophy from our first language to the psychiatric criteria of mental disorder. Khanna then helps us make sense of that accumulated knowledge to forge forward in how we approach those in distress-whether disordered or because it is part of the human condition.
