E-Books →Conversations in Critical Psychiatry

The series includes interviews with many leading scholars such as Allen Frances, Anne Harrington, Paul McHugh, Nassir Ghaemi, Dainius Pūras, Joanna Moncrieff, Jonathan Shedler, Sanneke de Haan, Nev Jones and Kenneth Kendler, among others. The discussions cover a wide array of philosophical, clinical, and scientific topics and present a sweeping overview of psychiatrys relationship to critique. A detailed introductory essay 'Psychiatry and the Critical Landscape' offers a synthesis of themes and makes the case for mainstream psychiatry to embrace the critical tradition, while urging critical psychiatry to engage with a philosophically informed view of psychiatric science. Given the accessible and rigorous nature of these conversations, this book will be of interest to academics, clinicians, students, service users, and general readers alike.
