Description

Models of Madness: Psychological, Social and Biological Approaches to Psychosis offers a critical look at how we understand mental health. This second edition from Routledge questions standard assumptions about schizophrenia, chemical imbalances, and genetic predispositions. It provides a necessary counter-perspective to simplistic and often damaging theories regarding madness. Instead of focusing solely on biological causes, this work examines the social factors that contribute to psychosis. It asks difficult questions about the effectiveness and safety of psychiatric drugs and explores whether madness is a preventable condition. This book is part of the International Society for Psychological and Social Approaches to Psychosis Book Series, making it a vital resource for those looking to move beyond an excessive preoccupation with chemical explanations for mental illness.
