Description

Gain a deeper understanding of the nature of mental illness with this accessible volume from Routledge. In this work, Ronald Chase explores why the concept of mental illness is often misunderstood by those who view the mind and body as separate entities. Chase examines how the roots of this thinking can be traced back to the philosophical dualism promoted by Rene Descartes in the seventeenth century. By investigating these historical perspectives, the book explains how such thinking contributes to the ongoing stigma associated with mental health conditions. Readers will find a thoughtful evaluation of current conceptual understandings. This book offers a different way to look at mental health by addressing the foundational ideas that shape how we perceive the connection between the physical body and the mind. It is an essential read for anyone looking to move past traditional misconceptions and understand the true basis of mental health issues.
