Voices of Mental Health: Medicine, Politics, and American Culture, 1970-2000

Beschreibung

This richly layered account of mental health in the late twentieth century interweaves three important stories: the rising political prominence of mental health in the US since 1970; the shifting medical diagnostics of mental health at a time when activists were speaking out about the needs and rights of patients; and the concept of voice in literature, film, memoir, journalism, and medical case study.
