De-Medicalizing Misery II cover

This book extends the critical scope of the previous volume, De-Medicalizing Misery, into a wider social and political context, developing the critique of the psychiatrization of Western society. It explores the contemporary mental health landscape and poses possible alternative solutions to the continuing issues of emotional distress.

'the quality of the chapters is consistently good, and in many cases outstanding... collections like De-Medicalizing Misery II, with their attention to both critiques and solutions, will continually be needed' Laura K. Kerr, PsycCRITIQUES
