Book excerpt: Ethique, pratique, économique, politique, la question de la santé mentale ne peut rester de la seule responsabilité des professionnels. D'autant que ces professionnels eux-mêmes, de plus en plus, perçoivent la dimension sociopolitique de cette souffrance, inséparable de l'ordre, et du désordre social. Que peut apporter la sociologie à la connaissance des troubles mentaux (ou psychiques) et aux nombreuses questions qu'ils posent aux citoyens : d'où vient l'augmentation de leur fréquence dans notre société ? Comment prévenir l'apparition de ces troubles et mieux les prendre en charge ? Comment impliquer la famille et les proches dans les soins ? Comment accueillir le handicap psychique dans la cité et ne pas stigmatiser les malades ? Comment protéger la société de certaines personnalités classées comme dangereuses ? La sociologie, sans être exclusive d'autres approches disciplinaires, apporte un éclairage spécifique : elle envisage le trouble psychique comme un phénomène social et elle saisit les processus de prise en charge dans leurs dimensions relationnelle, organisationnelle et politique. Ce livre propose ainsi une synthèse sur la sociologie du trouble mental en cinq chapitres, qui convoquent les statistiques, les théories, l'histoire de l'« étrangeté d'âme » et de la psychiatrie, mais aussi le point de vue des professionnels et celui des malades. Le soin en santé mentale et les représentations de l'« anormal » apparaissent alors comme des enjeux de société.
Download or read book The Slightest Attachment written by Ariane d'Hoop and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the disciplinary architecture of hospitals has long prevailed in psychiatry, many care teams now work in smaller structures, within communities. Ariane d'Hoop explores one of these places: Drawing on fieldwork in a psychiatric day center for teenagers, she traces how spatial arrangements matter in the care practice. From a corner in which one can withdraw, to a kitchen inviting to hang around, or displayed artworks that pique one's curiosity, caregivers use the material environment to stir up the slightest affinity from teenagers. This study thus expands our idea of what attachment is, and makes us more able to recognize the subtle dynamics between care, things, and spaces. With a preface by Jeannette Pols.

Download or read book Chinese Immigrants in Europe written by Yue Liu and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-03-23 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living in a world in which the visible and invisible borders between nations are being shaken at an unprecedented pace. We are experiencing a wave of international migration, and the diversity of migrants – in terms of how they identify, their external and self-image, and their participation in society – is increasingly noticeable. After the introduction of the Reform and Opening Up policy, over 10 million migrants left China, with Europe the main destination for Chinese emigration after 1978. This volume provides multidisciplinary answers to open questions: How and to what extent do Chinese immigrants participate in their host societies? What kind of impact is the increasing number of highly qualified immigrants from China having on the development and perception of overseas Chinese communities in Europe? How is the development of Chinese identity transforming in relation to generational change? By focusing on two key European countries, Germany and France, this volume makes a topical contribution to research on (new) Chinese immigrants in Europe.

Download or read book Ethnopsychiatry written by Henri F. Ellenberger and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the relationship between culture and mental health? Is mental illness universal? Are symptoms of mental disorders different across social groups? In the late 1960s these questions gave rise to a groundbreaking series of articles written by the psychiatrist Henri Ellenberger, who would go on to publish The Discovery of the Unconscious: The History and Evolution of Dynamic Psychiatry in 1970. Fifty years later they are presented for the first time in English translation, introduced by historian of science Emmanuel Delille. Ethnopsychiatry explores one of the most controversial subjects in psychiatric research: the role of culture in mental health. In his articles Ellenberger addressed the complex clinical and theoretical problems of cultural specificity in mental illness, collective psychoses, differentiations within cultural groups, and biocultural interactions. He was especially attuned to the correlations between rapid cultural transformations in postwar society, urbanization, and the frequency of mental illness. Ellenberger drew from a vast and varied primary and secondary literature in several languages, as well as from his own findings in clinical practice, which included work with indigenous peoples. In analyzing Ellenberger's contributions Delille unveils the transnational and interdisciplinary origins of transcultural psychiatry, which grew out of knowledge networks that crisscrossed the globe. The book has a rich selection of appendices, including Ellenberger's lecture notes on a case of peyote addiction and his correspondence with anthropologist and psychoanalyst Georges Devereux. These original essays, and their masterful contextualization, provide a compelling introduction to the foundations of transcultural psychiatry and one of its most distinguished and prolific researchers.

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 Psychiatric Power written by Michel Foucault and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-06-24 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Psychiatric Power, the fourth volume in the collection of his groundbreaking lectures at the Collège de France, Michel Foucault addresses and expands upon the ideas in his seminal Madness and Civilization, sketching the genealogy of psychiatry and of its characteristic form of power/knowledge. Madness and Civilization undertook the archeology of the division according to which, in Western Society, the madman found himself separated from the sane. That book ends with the medicalization of madness at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Psychiatric Power continues this discourse up to the end of the nineteenth century, and the double "depsychiatrization" of madness, now dispersed between the neurologist and the psychoanalyst. Presented in a conversational tone, Psychiatric Power brings fresh access and light to the work of one of the past century's preeminent thinkers.

This book was released on 2006-11-22 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook describes ways in which society shapes the mental health of its members, and shapes the lives of those who have been identified as mentally ill. The text explores the social conditions that lead to behaviors defined as mental illness, and the ways in which the concept of mental illness is socially constructed around those behaviors. The book also reviews research that examines socially conditioned responses to mental illness on the part of individuals and institutions, and ways in which these responses affect persons with mental illness. It evaluates where the field has been, identifies its current location and plots a course for the future.
