Description

Normalizing the Balkans examines how psychoanalysis and psychiatry were deployed in the Balkans during the 1990s to represent the region as mentally unstable and justify military and symbolic intervention. Drawing parallels with colonial practices in British India, French Africa, and Nazi-era Europe, this Routledge study reveals how the language of psychic normality functioned as a tool of geopolitical control. The book traces how Freud's self-analysis, shaped by his journeys through the Balkans, foreshadowed orientalist frameworks later critiqued by Said. By analysing the intersection of clinical discourse and political strategy, this work exposes the historical patterns through which Western psychiatric frameworks have pathologised entire regions and populations, challenging the neutrality of mental health classifications in contexts of military conflict and imperial expansion.
