Part Three examines the contemporary state of psychiatry, including the use of medication, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and other modern treatments.Throughout the book, Sullivan emphasizes the importance of the patient's perspective, and he encourages psychiatrists to take a holistic approach to treatment that considers the patient's social, cultural, and personal context.
