Review
"This book explores wide–ranging causes and manifestations of our wayward and destructive tendencies." (Journal of Mental Health, August 2008)
The product of an inquisitive spirit and a fine intellect. As sombre as the message is, I enjoyed reading it. (PsycCRITIQUES, February 2008)
"...a timely awakening, educative, reassuring or cathartic for those in the process of emerging from our culture′s trances of material progressivism..." (Ipnosis, Winter 2007)

Product Description
What’s wrong with us? Professor Colin Feltham believes that the current crises of the human condition are symptoms of a chronic wayward tendency which he terms ‘anthropathology’. This interdisciplinary look at the zeitgeist of crisis traces the roots of human suffering, exploring the contemporary issues of human violence, deceit, patriarchy, abuse, irrationality and greed. Our human anthropathology is placed at the heart of all such problems. Echoing the pessimism of Schopenhauer, Cioran, Beckett, Gray and others, Feltham nevertheless insists that answers may be formulated through confrontation. Challenging and enlightening for professionals, academics and students, What′s Wrong With Us? is also a fascinating read for anyone with a general interest in our current social state.
