Recenzii
"This book strikes a note of clarity and wisdom in an era where medication is seen as the solution to ‘mental illness.’ Drawing on a sociologically informed philosophy illustrated by personal accounts, Neil Thompson demonstrates that we need to move away from a narrow medical model towards a more holistic model of mental health and well-being. I highly recommend this book to students, mental health practitioners, and those seeking to reframe their own distress outside of the confines of biomedicine."
—Jane Ussher, PhD, professor of women’s health psychology at Western Sydney University and author of The Madness of Women: Myth and Experience
"Neil Thompson’s work is renowned for its clarity and its success in blending theory and practice. This book is no exception. It is effective in raising and addressing important questions about medicalized approaches to mental health problems and offers helpful insights about a range of alternative understandings. All mental health professionals should carefully consider the issues it raises."
