This book examines the proliferation of mental health claims, based on the premise that the business of mental health is a social, economic, political and cultural project which cannot be adequately theorised without considering wider societal issues such as power, labelling, social control and consumption.

Offering a survey of critical theory, it demonstrates the application of critical approaches to key topics including medicalisation, the DSM, psychiatry, critical histories of mental health and talk therapy.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
