Description
This introduction to madness explores the uncertainties and incongruities surrounding mental health. Peter Morrall critically examines how madness has been understood, both in the past and present, using real-life case studies to humanise the subject.
By contrasting different perspectives on madness, including sociology, psychology, psychotherapy, anthropology, and 'anti' psychiatry, Morrall presents a nuanced view of the topic. This book challenges preconceived ideas about madness and will inform and stimulate your thinking.
A balanced approach that remains skeptical of prevailing theories, this book is ideal for those seeking to understand the complexities of mental health without adhering to a particular perspective.
