Description

Product Description This book explores the challenges of applying disability theory and policy, including the social model of disability, to madness and distress. It brings together leading scholars and activists from Europe, North America, Australia and India, to explore the relationship between madness, distress and disability. Whether mental health problems should be viewed as disabilities is a pressing concern, especially since the inclusion of psychosocial disability in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This book will appeal to policy makers, practitioners, activists and academics. Review A rewarding and frequently compelling read that does not shy away from grappling with the uncertainties surrounding its field of inquiry. LSE Review of BooksAn enjoyable and thought-provoking introduction to the relationship between mental health problems and disability. Critical Social PolicySignificant and a must for undergraduates and postgraduates in the fields of sociology, social theory and social policy.
