How to Rethink Mental Illness (Exploring the Environmental and Social Foundations of Human Behaviour)

Bernard Guerin
4.9/5 (13491 ratings)
Description:The world of mental illness is typically framed around symptoms and cures, where every client is given a label. In this challenging new book, Professor Bernard Guerin provides a fresh alternative to considering these issues, based in interdisciplinary social sciences and discourse analysis rather than medical studies or cognitive metaphors.A timely and articulate challenge to mainstream approaches, Guerin asks the reader to observe the ecological contexts for behavior rather than diagnose symptoms, to find new ways to understand and help those experiencing mental distress. This book shows the reader:how we attribute mental illness to someone s behaviorwhy we call some forms of suffering mental but not otherswhat western diagnoses look like when you strip away the theory and categorieswhy psychiatry and psychology appeared for the first time at the start of modernitythe relationship between capitalism and modern ideas of mental illnesswhy it seems that women, the poor, and people of Indigenous and non-western backgrounds have worse mental healthhow can we can rethink the hearing of voices more ecologicallyhow self-identity has evolved historicallyhow thinking arises from our social contexts rather than from inside our headsOffering solutions rather than theory to develop a new post-internal psychology, How to Rethink Mental Illness will be essential reading for every mental health professional, as well as anyone who has either experienced a mental illness themselves, or helped a friend or family member who has."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
