Book excerpt: "Non staremo qui a sollevare la questione degli internamenti arbitrari, per evitarvi il penoso compito di facili negazioni. Noi affermiamo che un gran numero dei vostri ricoverati, perfettamente folli secondo la definizione ufficiale, sono, anch'essi, internati arbitrariamente. Non ammettiamo che si interferisca con il libero sviluppo di un delirio, altrettanto legittimo, altrettanto logico che qualsiasi altra successione di idee e di azioni umane ... affermiamo l'assoluta legittimità della loro concezione della realtà e di tutte le azioni che da essa derivano". (A. Artaud)

Book excerpt: La "malattia mentale" è un mito in nome del quale sono stati perpretati i più gravi crimini contro l'umanità. Dalla psicochirugia, passando per gli shock insulinici e l'elettroshock, per arrivare alla lobotomia chimica degli psicofarmaci, questo (pre)giudizio ha coperto e assolto tanto i carnefici (gli psichiatri), quanto i mandanti (la società civile), responsabili di un vero e proprio genocidio delle coscienze e dei corpi di centinaia di migliaia di esseri viventi in tutto il mondo.La "malattia mentale" non è altro che un'ipotesi che non serve a spiegare quello che succede di noi o fra noi, ma solo a giustificare quanto in suo nome e per la sua "cura" viene fatto a persone inermi e, spesso, non consenzienti.Questo saggio cerca di fornire delle indicazioni teorico-pratiche per fare a meno della psichiatria.

This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non esiste categoria di esseri umani che abbia collezionato pi� ragioni e subito pi� torti delle vittime volontarie (e involontarie) della psichiatria. Non esiste disciplina che abbia perseverato nei propri errori e difeso i suoi orrori come l'(incon)scienza psichiatrica. Eppure siamo ancora qui, aldil� di ogni logica, buon senso o umanit�, a discutere se dare credito e ragione ai primi, oppure lasciare che gli psichiatri continuino ad usare (e abusare) di loro. Questo libro propone un percorso teorico e pratico per liberarsi della e dalla psichiatria. E' un manuale di autodifesa minimo. Una sorta di vaccino contro la contaminazione del morbo dell'intolleranza e della paura. Un manuale per vittime, carnefici e mandanti.

Download or read book The Years of Alienation in Italy written by Alessandra Diazzi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Years of Alienation in Italy offers an interdisciplinary overview of the socio-political, psychological, philosophical, and cultural meanings that the notion of alienation took on in Italy between the 1960s and the 1970s. It addresses alienation as a social condition of estrangement caused by the capitalist system, a pathological state of the mind and an ontological condition of subjectivity. Contributors to the edited volume explore the pervasive influence this multifarious concept had on literature, cinema, architecture, and photography in Italy. The collection also theoretically reassesses the notion of alienation from a novel perspective, employing Italy as a paradigmatic case study in its pioneering role in the revolution of mental health care and factory work during these two decades.

Download or read book Changing Attitudes to Punishment written by Julian Roberts and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the western world public opinion has played an important role in shaping criminal justice policy. At the same time opinion polls repeatedly demonstrate that the public knows little about crime and justice, and holds negative views of the criminal justice system. This book, consisting of chapters from leading authorities in the field, is concerned to address this problem, and draws upon research in a number of different countries to address the issues arising from this state of affairs. Its main aims are: to explore the changing and evolving nature of public attitudes to sentencing to examine the factors that influence public opinion and to bring together recent international research which has demonstrated ways in which public attitudes can be changed to propose specific strategies to respond to the crisis in public confidence in criminal justice.

Download or read book Restorative Justice Self interest and Responsible Citizenship written by Lode Walgrave and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lode Walgrave has made a highly significant contribution to the worldwide development of the restorative justice movement over the last two decades. This book represents the culmination of his vision for restorative justice. Coming to the subject from a juvenile justice background he initially saw restorative justice as a means of escaping the rehabilitation-punishment dilemma, and as the basis for a more constructive judicial response to youth crime that had been the case hitherto. Over time his conception of restorative justice moved in the direction of focusing on repairing harm and suffering rather than ensuring that the youthful offender met with a 'just' response, and encompassing the notion that restorative justice was not so much about a justice system promoting restoration, more a matter of doing justice through restoration. This book develops Lode Walgrave's conception of restorative justice further, incorporating a number of key elements. • a clearly outcome-based definition of restorative justice • acceptance of the need to use judicial coercion to impose sanctions as part of the reparative process • presenting restorative justice as a fully fledged alternative to the punitive apriorism • development of a more sophisticated concept of the relationship between restorative justice and the law, and acceptance of the need for legal regulation • a consideration of the expansion of a restorative justice philosophy into other areas of social life and the threats and opportunities this provides • a consideration of the implications of the expansion of restorative justice for the discipline of criminology and democracy

Download or read book The Dialectics of Liberation written by David Cooper and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revolutionary compilation of speeches which produced a political groundwork for many of the radical movements in the following decades The now legendary Dialectics of Liberation congress, held in London in 1967, was a unique expression of the politics of dissent. Existential psychiatrists, Marxist intellectuals, anarchists, and political leaders met to discuss key social issues. Edited by David Cooper, The Dialectics of Liberation compiles interventions from congress contributors Stokely Carmichael, Herbert Marcuse, R. D. Laing, Paul Sweezy, and others, to explore the roots of social violence. Against a backdrop of rising student frustration, racism, class inequality, and environmental degradation—a setting familiar to readers today—the conference aimed to create genuine revolutionary momentum by fusing ideology and action on the levels of the individual and of mass society. The Dialectics of Liberation captures the rise of a forceful style of political activity that came to characterize the following years.

Download or read book Psychosocial Interventions for Mental and Substance Use Disorders written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health and substance use disorders affect approximately 20 percent of Americans and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Although a wide range of evidence-based psychosocial interventions are currently in use, most consumers of mental health care find it difficult to know whether they are receiving high-quality care. Although the current evidence base for the effects of psychosocial interventions is sizable, subsequent steps in the process of bringing a psychosocial intervention into routine clinical care are less well defined. Psychosocial Interventions for Mental and Substance Use Disorders details the reasons for the gap between what is known to be effective and current practice and offers recommendations for how best to address this gap by applying a framework that can be used to establish standards for psychosocial interventions. The framework described in Psychosocial Interventions for Mental and Substance Use Disorders can be used to chart a path toward the ultimate goal of improving the outcomes. The framework highlights the need to (1) support research to strengthen the evidence base on the efficacy and effectiveness of psychosocial interventions; (2) based on this evidence, identify the key elements that drive an intervention's effect; (3) conduct systematic reviews to inform clinical guidelines that incorporate these key elements; (4) using the findings of these systematic reviews, develop quality measures - measures of the structure, process, and outcomes of interventions; and (5) establish methods for successfully implementing and sustaining these interventions in regular practice including the training of providers of these interventions. The recommendations offered in this report are intended to assist policy makers, health care organizations, and payers that are organizing and overseeing the provision of care for mental health and substance use disorders while navigating a new health care landscape. The recommendations also target providers, professional societies, funding agencies, consumers, and researchers, all of whom have a stake in ensuring that evidence-based, high-quality care is provided to individuals receiving mental health and substance use services.

Download or read book The History of Bethlem written by Jonathan Andrews and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 772 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bethlem Hospital, popularly known as "Bedlam", is a unique institution. Now seven hundred and fifty years old, it has been continuously involved in the care of the mentally ill in London since at least the 1400s. As such it has a strong claim to be the oldest foundation in Europe with an unbroken history of sheltering and treating the mentally disturbed. During this time, Bethlem has transcended locality to become not only a national and international institution, but in many ways, a cultural and literary myth. The History of Bethlem is a scholarly history of this key establishment by distinguished authors, including Asa Briggs and Roy Porter. Based upon extensive research of the hospital's archives, the book looks at Bethlem's role within the caring institutions of London and Britain, and provides a long overdue re-evaluation of its place in the history of psychiatry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The madhouse often figures prominently in popular conceptions of the nineteenth century, yet little is known about the realities of private institutions. In Psychiatry for the Rich, Charlotte MacKenzie examines the history of the asylum at Ticehurst in Sussex to explore the social history of madness and the impact of politics and popular opinion. She details the backgrounds of the patients, their own descriptions of the asylum as well as changes in the institution through the lunacy reforms and developments in medical theory. Challenging many of the accepted views of the Victorian asylum, Money, Medicine and Madness is the most revealing account of the trade in lunacy in the nineteenth century.
