Yet the dominant medical discipline of psychiatry remains surrounded by controversy. Is mental distress really an illness like any other, treatable by drugs? Can psychiatrists differentiate between mental disorders normal eccentricities, anxieties or even sadness? Should the power of psychiatrists be challenged by the knowledge of those with lived experience of mental ill health? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this penetrating analysis, Nikolas Rose critiques the powerful part that psychiatry has come to play in the lives of so many across the world. A series of chapters, each tackling an area of dispute head on, opens wide the terrain of debate addressing issues such as advances in brain science, the politics of Western psychiatry's spread across the globe, and recent evidence of social adversity's role in producing mental ill health. The answers we find to these pressing questions will shape the psychiatric futures that are being brought into existence. Ultimately, this book proposes a radically different future, no less evidence-based or rigorous, and indeed far more attuned to the realities of mental health, and argues that, as a branch of social medicine, another psychiatry is possible.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: What is psychiatry?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur psychiatric lives\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEveryone’s little helpers\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMany psychiatries\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePsychiatry defines the boundaries\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat mental disorder is\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePsychiatry as a political science\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe politics of psychiatry\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCritical psychiatry today\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOnwardsÉ\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Is there really an ‘epidemic’ of mental disorder?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e‘The burden of brain disorders’\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCounting the costs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBurden today\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom ‘mental’ disorders to ‘brain disorders’\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo is there an ‘epidemic’?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Is it all the fault of neoliberal capitalism?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur unhappy present\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe factory of unhappiness\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSocial capital\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eLoneliness\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStress\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo is it all the fault of neoliberal capitalism?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Four: If mental disorders exist, how shall we know them?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiagnosis as a social phenomenon\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSolution One: Define the phenotype\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSolution Two: Find the biomarker\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSolution Three: Straight to the brain\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSolution Four: Beyond diagnosis\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom diagnosis to formulation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Are mental disorders ‘brain disorders’?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProven by psychopharmaceuticals?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscovered in the genes?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVisible in the brain images?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSo are mental disorders brain disorders?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Does psychopharmacology have a future?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow did we get here?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe drugs don’t do nothing, but\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe pipeline is empty!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeyond psychopharmacology?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Seven: Who needs global mental health?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGrand challenge: no health without mental health?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe debate\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBeyond the conflict?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAll our futures?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Eight: Experts by experience?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMental patient movements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom ‘on our own’ to ‘nothing about us without us’\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe politics of recovery\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA new epistemology of mental distress\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHave we moved beyond the monologue?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Nine: Is another psychiatry possible?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eManifestoes for the future\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeven answers to seven hard questions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnother psychiatry, another biopolitics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Sociology \u0026amp; anthropology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Sociology%20\u0026amp;%20anthropology%20%5BJH%5D%22\"\u003eJH\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407341121816,"sku":"9780745689111","price":44.96,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745689111.jpg?v=1784163569","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/our-psychiatric-future-hardback-9780745689111","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
