Download or read book Basaglia s International Legacy From Asylum to Community written by Tom Burns and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franco Basaglia (1924-1980) was an Italian psychiatrist and activist who proposed the dismantling of psychiatric hospitals and pioneered new ideas about mental health and its treatment. Basaglia was also one of the principal proponents of Italy's Law 180, which effectively closed down large mental hospitals in Italy. His ideas and his disciples have had a decisive influence in the move away from institutional care in many parts of the world, particularly in continental Europe and South America. However, Basaglia is strikingly absent from the literature in Germanic and Anglophone psychiatry. Most of the literature about Basaglia in the last 40 years has been published by his followers and supporters and has often been largely positive, with little exploration of differing responses or possible limitations of his model. Basaglia's International Legacy: From Asylum to Community provides an overview of current thinking and the international influence of Franco Basaglia. This resource draws on the combined knowledge of clinicians, policy makers, historians, and social scientists, including a handful of Basaglia's collaborators. It provides an in-depth understanding and critical analysis of the various applications of his thinking worldwide. Organised into three broad sections, chapters examine Basaglia's work and influence in Italy; in the 'Basaglian' countries of Europe and South America; and in those countries where his influence has either been rejected or significantly modified. The Editors bring together the contributions and draw out the important messages (both positive and negative) for current clinical practice and development within international mental health services.

Download or read book Pour des usagers de la psychiatrie acteurs de leur propre vie written by Emmanuelle Jouët and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La notion de rétablissement en psychiatrie, développée et illustrée ici par des auteurs de différents pays, redonne l'espoir, aux 500 000 personnes en France souffrant d'une maladie psychiatrique grave, qu'on peut apprendre à vivre avec, se rétablir et retrouver une vraie place dans la société. Ce livre offre une perspective européenne et internationale sur le rétablissement, l'inclusion sociale et l'empowerment dans le domaine de la santé mentale. Ces trois concepts sont au centre d'un débat né du constat de l'échec de nos sociétés occidentales contemporaines à pleinement réintégrer les personnes qui ont été confrontées par un trouble psychique. En particulier, le livre examine les implications de l'accès à la formation tout au long de la vie pour lier ces trois concepts en un tout cohérent. Car, ensemble, ils contribuent à un nouveau paradigme qui situe l'usager de la psychiatrie comme moteur de sa propre vie, au sein d'une collectivité dans laquelle il est citoyen à part entière et dans laquelle les services de santé mentale sont configurés de manière à soutenir son autonomie plutôt que de perpétuer son rôle traditionnel de " patient ". Cet ouvrage sort simultanément, le 1er mars 2012, à Londres en langue anglaise : P. Ryan, S. Ramon & T. Greacen - Empowerment, Lifelong Learning and Recovery in Mental Health: Towards a New Paradigm.

Download or read book Material Cultures of Psychiatry written by Monika Ankele and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2020-10-31 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past, our ideas of psychiatric hospitals and their history have been shaped by objects like straitjackets, cribs, and binding belts. These powerful objects were often used as a synonym for psychiatry and the way psychiatric patients were treated, yet very little is known about the agency of these objects and their appropriation by staff and patients. By focusing on material cultures, this book offers a new perspective on the history of psychiatry: it enables a narrative in which practicing psychiatry is part of a complex entanglement in which power is constantly negotiated. Scholars from different academic disciplines show how this material-based approach opens up new perspectives on the agency and imagination of men and women inside psychiatry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The medicalisation of alcohol use has become a prominent discourse that guides policy makers and impacts public perceptions of alcohol and drinking. This book maps the historical and cultural dimensions of the phenomenon. Emphasising medical attitudes and theories regarding alcohol and the changing perception of alcohol consumption in psychiatry and mental health, it explores the shift from the use of alcohol in clinical treatment and as part of dietary regimens to the emergence of alcoholism as a disease category that requires medical intervention and is considered a threat to public health.

Download or read book The Hidden Patients written by Nina Salouâ Studer and published by Böhlau Verlag Köln Weimar. This book was released on 2016 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The Hidden Patients” looks at questions of gender in psychiatric publications on the colonial Maghreb, which described “normal” and “abnormal” forms of behaviour among the colonised and compared these findings to descriptions of Europeans who had been diagnosed with psychiatric “abnormalities”. Many psychiatric experts claimed that Muslim women rarely went “mad” and that they only accounted for a negligible percentage of the patients cared for by colonial psychiatrists. Consequently, relatively little space was dedicated to female Muslim patients in the theoretical source material, even though case studies and statistics clearly showed that it was mainly an imaginary absence and that it contradicted the everyday experiences of the psychiatrists.

Download or read book Social and Community Psychiatry written by Stelios Stylianidis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-05-14 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the basic theoretical and historical concepts and it describes current perspectives and data, focusing on good practices in community psychiatry in Greece and in other parts of Europe. Concepts such as the biopsychosocial model, psychiatric reform, psychosocial rehabilitation and the recovery model, as well as new case management models are approached from a critical, anthropocentric perspective. The current socioeconomic crisis in Europe brings with it new realities in mental health systems. New forms of social suffering are forcing the psychiatric community to re-examine what is considered normal. In order to respond to the complexity of the newly emerging needs, social and community psychiatry has been compelled to broaden the objectives of intervention and research alike, developing new and dynamic relations with complementary scientific fields such as social anthropology, psychoanalysis and microeconomics. The present work is the result of collaboration between professionals from across these different fields.
Download or read book Fanon written by Nigel C. Gibson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frantz Fanon was a French psychiatrist turned Algerian revolutionary of Martinican origin, and one of the most important and controversial thinkers of the postwar period. A veritable "intellect on fire," Fanon was a radical thinker with original theories on race, revolution, violence, identity and agency. This book is an excellent introduction to the ideas and legacy of Fanon. Gibson explores him as a truly complex character in the context of his time and beyond. He argues that for Fanon, theory has a practical task to help change the world. Thus Fanon's "untidy dialectic," Gibson contends, is a philosophy of liberation that includes cultural and historical issues and visions of a future society. In a profoundly political sense, Gibson asks us to reevaluate Fanon's contribution as a critic of modernity and reassess in a new light notions of consciousness, humanism, and social change. This is a fascinating study that will interest undergraduates and above in postcolonial studies, literary theory, cultural studies, sociology, politics, and social and political theory, as well as general readers.
Download or read book The Routledge History of Madness and Mental Health written by Greg Eghigian and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 869 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge History of Madness and Mental Health explores the history and historiography of madness from the ancient and medieval worlds to the present day. Global in scope, it includes case studies from Africa, Asia, and South America as well as Europe and North America, drawing together the latest scholarship and source material in this growing field and allowing for fresh comparisons to be made across time and space. Thematically organised and written by leading academics, chapters discuss broad topics such as the representation of madness in literature and the visual arts, the material culture of madness, the perpetual difficulty of creating a classification system for madness and mental health, madness within life histories, the increased globalisation of knowledge and treatment practices, and the persistence of spiritual and supernatural conceptualisations of experiences associated with madness. This volume also examines the challenges involved in analysing primary sources in this area and how key themes such as class, gender, and race have influenced the treatment and diagnosis of madness throughout history. Chronologically and geographically wide-ranging, and providing a fascinating overview of the current state of the field, this is essential reading for all students of the history of madness, mental health, psychiatry, and medicine.
