Acerca de este título
In Search of Madness is an exploration of society's changing attitudes towards and attempts to deal with its mentally ill, from the author of The Science of Happiness.
Who is ‘mad’? Who is not? And who decides?
In this fascinating new exploration of mental illness, Professor Brendan Kelly examines ‘madness’ in history and how we have responded to it over the centuries.
We travel from the psychiatric institutions of modern India to scientific studies of the brain in Victorian England. We discover the beginnings of formal asylum care and witness the experimental therapies of the cavernous psychiatric hospitals of the 19th and early 20th centuries in Ireland, England, Belgium, Italy, Germany and the United States.
Covering lobotomy, the Nazis’ Aktion T4 campaign, Freud, psychoanalysis, cognitive behavioural therapy and neuroscience, In Search of Madness examines the shift in recent times from ‘psychobabble’ to ‘neurobabble'.
This is an all-encompassing history of one of the most basic fears to haunt the human psyche—madness—and it concludes with a passionate manifesto for change: four proposals to make mental health services more effective, accessible and just.
