Description

Explore the history of resistance and social movements within the mental health field. Contesting Psychiatry, published by Routledge, provides an empirical account of how these movements have shaped current practices in both psychiatry and mental health. Focusing largely on the United Kingdom, this book examines the period between 1950 and 2000 to understand how different organizations and groups have challenged psychiatric norms. It offers a deep look at the history of resistance, providing readers with a clear understanding of the social forces that drive change in medical and social sciences. This text is an essential resource for those studying the sociology of health or the history of mental health care. It offers a theorization of resistance that can be applied to other nations, making it a valuable tool for researchers and students looking to understand the global implications of mental health social movements.
