Psychiatrie není na první pohled nic zábavného. Tato kniha chce v podobě komiksu odpovědět na dvě základní otázky, které zůstávají pro mnoho lidí tajemstvím: co je psychiatrie a co psychiatři skutečně dělají. Stručně mapuje historii oboru, první historické pokusy o psychiatrickou intervenci a základních osm diagnóz mentálních onemocnění. Čtenáři se dozvědí, jaké jsou rozdíly mezi dynamickou a organickou psychiatrií, na čem staví a kdy je potřebná medikamentózní léčba a jaká je budoucnost farmakoterapie a psychiatrie. Kniha je určena studentům psychologie, medicíny, ale také všem, kdo se zajímají o problematiku psychologie a psychopatologie. Nigel C. Benson je autorem úspěšného komiksu Psychoterapie (Portál, 2005). Piero je populární britský ilustrátor

Shakespeare's absolute pre-eminence is unparalleled. His plays pack theatres and underpin Hollywood blockbusters. Nick Groom and Piero explore how Shakespeare became so influential, and why he is widely considered the greatest writer ever.
