Description
Nikolas Rose critiques the powerful part that psychiatry has come to play in our lives, examining the dominant medical discipline and its controversies. This penetrating analysis tackles areas of dispute head-on, addressing issues such as advances in brain science, the politics of Western psychiatry's spread across the globe, and recent evidence of social adversity's role in producing mental ill health.
The answers to these pressing questions will shape the psychiatric futures that are being brought into existence. Rose proposes a radically different future, one that is more attuned to the realities of mental health and argues that, as a branch of social medicine, another psychiatry is possible.
