Description

Explore the complex relationship between Western society and madness with Insane Society: A Sociology of Mental Health. Part of the Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Health and Illness, this book moves beyond the individual to examine how social, political, economic, and cultural contexts shape our understanding of mental health. Instead of focusing solely on the affected person, this text scrutinizes how societal institutions, divisions, and values contribute to the construction of madness. It asks a fundamental question: is society itself mad? By looking at the broader ecological and social structures, the book investigates how the insanity of a society impacts the sanity of its citizens. This work builds on ideas presented by thinkers like Fromm in The Sane Society, providing a deep look into the perspectives of sociologists, social thinkers, epidemiologists, and biologists. It is an essential read for anyone studying the intersection of social structures and psychological well-being.
