Bernard Guerin

Turning Mental Health into Social Action (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book deconstructs modern talking therapies, and frames mental health in a wider social context to show how societal structures restrict our opportunities. It is part of a trilogy which offers a new way of doing psychology focusing on people's social environments as determining their behaviour, rather than internal attributions.
