Description

This critical examination of resistance to psychiatry in the UK between 1950 and 2000 explores how social movements have fundamentally shaped modern mental health practice and psychiatric approaches. Drawing on extensive research, the book provides an empirical account of the key organisations and movements that have contested psychiatry over five decades, offering theories of resistance applicable across different national contexts and social settings. Part of the Critical Studies in Health and Society series, this work analyses the historical development of anti-psychiatry movements and their lasting impact on contemporary mental health policy and provision. The author synthesises decades of scholarship to demonstrate how grassroots activism and organised resistance have driven meaningful change in psychiatric practice and challenged dominant medical frameworks. Essential reading for students and practitioners in mental health, sociology, history, and social policy.
