Critical Psychiatry: The Limits of Madness

Editat de D. Double
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 iul 2006
Psychiatry is increasingly dominated by the reductionist claim that mental illness is caused by neurobiological abnormalities. Critical psychiatry disagrees with this and proposes a more ethical foundation for practice. This book describes an original framework for renewing mental health services in alliance with people with mental health problems.
