Owen Whooley is associate professor of sociology at the University of New Mexico and the author of Knowledge in the Time of Cholera, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
"On the Heels of Ignorance is an innovative, carefully argued and
marvelously executed work. It is not a screed against psychiatry. .
. . This is a thought‐provoking work that merits a wide readership
and inclusion on sociology and history syllabi."-- "Journal of the
History of the Behavioral Sciences"
"On the Heels of Ignorance offers historians and students of
American psychiatry a new and constructive heuristic."-- "Bulletin
of the History of Medicine"
"On the Heels of Ignorance is a substantial achievement, addressing
a core puzzle in the history of psychiatry. Whooley's gambit is to
narrate psychiatry from the point of view of its professional
persistence in the face of recurrent failure. Whooley is an
engaging writer and his book is an exciting one, with compelling
analysis well positioned to make a real impact."-- "Aaron Panofsky,
author of Misbehaving Science"
