The British Anti-Psychiatrists (eBook, ePUB)

From Institutional Psychiatry to the Counter-Culture, 1960-1971

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the work of the British anti-psychiatric group through its social and theoretical networks. It offers new readings of the group's activities and writings by examining them as unfolding conversations, rather than focusing on any one writer. Through this exploration the book argues that the group's synthesis of disparate discourses gave it a legitimate voice in both psychiatry and the counter-culture, but also led to its collapse.
