I would like to send a book to my in-laws (who are quite anti-psych - due more to ignorance of the field rather than bad experiences) that would introduce them to the current state of psychiatric practice, the benefits and need for psychiatric treatment, etc. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Psychiatry in the New Millenium

A bit dated but provides a broad overview
Hope this helps
