Healthy Minds in the Twentieth Century: In and Beyond the Asylum by Steven J. TaylorEnglish | PDF,EPUB | 2020 | 274 Pages | ISBN : 3030272745 | 8 MB
This edited collection contributes a new dimension to the study of mental health and psychiatry in the twentieth century. It takes the present literature beyond the ‘asylum and after’ paradigm to explore the multitude of spaces that have been permeated by concerns about mental well-being and illness. The chapters in this volume consciously attempt to break down institutional walls and consider mental health through the lenses of institutions, policy, nomenclature, art, lived experience, and popular culture.
