Description

Reasoning About Madness examines the complex definitions of mental illness and the critical distinction between criminal behaviour and psychiatric conditions. Written by Wing, a psychiatrist of international standing, this Routledge publication explores how medical professionals define mental illness within a limited framework whilst acknowledging the influence of social pressures on clinical judgment. The book addresses the concerning power held by the state to strip individuals of their rights based on official classification as mentally ill, comparing how different societies conceptualise madness and its treatment. Essential reading for those studying psychiatry, medical ethics, and the philosophical boundaries between normalcy and mental disorder.

Key Features

Wing's authoritative psychiatric perspective offers credible analysis of how mental illness definitions have evolved across different cultural and medical contexts.

Reasoning About Madness examines the troubling intersection of state power and individual rights in psychiatric classification and institutionalisation.

The Routledge publication explores how social pressures influence professional medical judgment in diagnosing and treating mental illness.

This book investigates the critical distinction between criminal responsibility and psychiatric conditions, addressing a fundamental challenge in psychiatry and law.
