ABSTRACT
Near the end of Listening to Prozac, Peter Kramer all but acknowledged the death of the mind for psychiatry: “A few decades after he proposed it, Sartre’s notion of nausea as the most basic of human emotions is dismissed by most psychologists and philosophers.”1 Kramer did well to look to Jean-Paul Sartre for a model of the mind, even though it is one based as much on emotion as on cognition.
