Madness, Distress and the Politics of Disablement

Editat de Helen Spandler, Jill Anderson, Bob Sapey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 iun 2015
This book explores the challenges of applying disability theory and policy, including the social model of disability, to madness and distress. It brings together leading scholars and activists from Europe, North America, Australia, and India, to explore the relationship between madness, distress, and disability. Whether mental health problems should be viewed as disabilities is a pressing concern, especially since the inclusion of psychosocial disability in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This book will appeal to policy makers, practitioners, activists, and academics.

Recenzii

“‘Distress,’ ‘disability,’ ‘impairment,’ ‘madness,’ ‘recovery’—all are stress tested for their meanings and their options for social activism rehearsed. This is an invaluable book for students of the perennially contested topic of mental health.”

“Significant and a must for undergraduates and postgraduates in the fields of sociology, social theory, and social policy.”

“This text brings together insights from critical disability studies, mad studies, and politicized analyses of mental health to develop a theoretical, empirical, and activist response to wider conditions of disablement. The authors clearly demonstrate the potency of theory and the centrality of activism and this book will be of interest to anyone interested in developing politics in a time of austerity.”

"A rewarding and frequently compelling read that does not shy away from grappling with the uncertainties surrounding its field of inquiry."

“An enjoyable and thought-provoking introduction to the relationship between mental health problems and disability.”
