Almost everyone would agree that having pneumonia or a broken leg is always a bad thing, but not everyone agrees that sadness, grief, anxiety, or even hallucinations are always bad things. This fundamental disjunction in how disease and disorders are valued is the basis for the considerations in "Descriptions and Prescriptions". John Z. Sadler, MD, brings together a group of contributors to examine how psychiatric diagnostic classifications are influenced by the values held by mental health professionals and the society in which they practise. The aim of the book, according to Sadler, is "to involve psychiatrists, psychologists, philosophers, and scholars in related fields in an intimate exchange about the role of values in shaping past and future classifications of mental disorders".
