<p>In this book, David Healy presents a thorough, balanced, and sharply analytical history of U.S. involvement in the Caribbean region between the end of the 19th century and 1920. Healy combines primary research material with a wide array of secondary sources as he details the complex workings of American foreign policy and the internal situations of the Caribbean nations. Scholars and students of U.S. and Latin American history, as well as political scientists interested in Latin American international relations, will find this to be the most comprehensive treatment of the subject to date.</p>

The Psychopharmacologists 3 completes a trio of interview-based books about the process of therapeutic innovation in clinical psychiatry. David Healy's method is to interview key individuals involved in the discovery and deployment of drugs that have proved useful to psychiatry, and to draw them together within a model of the mechanism and clinical discovery that he uses as an overall framework.These are historical accounts but highly relevant to the clinical psychiatrist of today, emphasising the importance of research, and of the marketing strategies of pharmaceutical companies in formulating disease entities as well as treatments for them.

With the advent of new techniques for operative laparoscopy and hysteroscopy, many gynaecological operations can now be undertaken in a day surgery leading to a significant reduction in associated costs. However, the selection of appropriate patients for effective day surgery is still in its infancy. This unique book goes beyond conventional texts on the various techniques involved in minimally invasive gynaecological surgery to describe what effective day surgery actually means, how it should be organised and what constitutes future directions in day surgery for women - the evidence-based approach. The authors draw on their combined experience of working in gynaecological day surgery over the last five years, both in the setting of a major hospital and in an independent gynaecological day surgery unit.

Pharmageddon

<p>This searing indictment, David Healy’s most comprehensive and forceful argument against the pharmaceuticalization of medicine, tackles problems in health care that are leading to a growing number of deaths and disabilities. Healy, who was the first to draw attention to the now well-publicized suicide-inducing side effects of many anti-depressants, attributes our current state of affairs to three key factors: product rather than process patents on drugs, the classification of certain drugs as prescription-only, and industry-controlled drug trials. These developments have tied the survival of pharmaceutical companies to the development of blockbuster drugs, so that they must overhype benefits and deny real hazards. Healy further explains why these trends have basically ended the possibility of universal health care in the United States and elsewhere around the world. He concludes with suggestions for reform of our currently corrupted evidence-based medical system. </p>
