Virtue of Defiance and Psychiatric Engagement

Beschreibung

This book offers a nuanced and complex look at defiance, taking seriously issues of dysfunction while also attending to the social contexts in which defiant behaviour may arise. Case studies, a framework for differentiating different forms of defiance, and a realistic picture of phronesis (practical reasoning) are all covered.
