At trappe ud af psykofarmaka – eller psykiatrisk medicin – er ofte en sværere og mere krævende proces, end man forventer. Det gælder fx antidepressiv medicin, benzodiazepiner, antipsykotika og stemningsstabiliserende midler. Bogen er vigtig læsning for alle, der skal igennem et udtrapningsforløb, og for professionelle, der arbejder med mennesker, der er i udtrapning. Men dens nyskabende tilgang til psykofarmaka og psykisk lidelse gør også, at bogen kan læses bredere af enhver med interesse for psykisk lidelse, psykiatri og medicinfri behandling. Anders Sørensen, psykolog, ph.d.

Don't do it!" but don't give men real solutions. To Kill a Lion is about destroying sexual roots. It is about who a man is, not just what he does.
