Description
Book Synopsis
Psychiatry is increasingly dominated by the reductionist claim that mental illness is caused by neurobiological abnormalities. Critical psychiatry disagrees with this and proposes a more ethical foundation for practice. This book describes an original framework for renewing mental health services in alliance with people with mental health problems.Review Quotes
'This is a classic work that everyone working in mental health should read. Even if you don't agree with what the authors say, it will certainly encourage you to think - critically.' - Mental Health Today
