About this book
In a world where technology promises to eradicate mental illness, "Name Your Symptom" by Jim Harmon explores the ethical dilemmas faced by psychiatrist Henry Infield. Set against the backdrop of mid-20th century advancements, the narrative delves into the chilling consequences of relying on mechanical "Cures" that suppress symptoms rather than addressing their roots. As Infield navigates a society increasingly dependent on these innovations, he confronts the complexities of identity and autonomy. This thought-provoking science fiction piece invites students and civic activists to reflect on the balance between technological progress and human experience, making it a crucial read for those interested in the intersection of mental health and innovation.
