Abstract

This ground-breaking collection represents a significant challenge to psychiatry and is an inspiring collaborative venture between academics, activists, and psychiatric survivors from Canada, England, and the United States. It would be a great text for undergraduate and graduate students in fields like psychology, sociology, social work, disability studies, and women and gender studies. It explores various arguments for opposing psychiatry and can assist those training in mental health professions to raise their health care practice to a higher standard of accountability.
