By: Sharma, Prateeksha.
Publisher: New York : Routledge, 2023Description: xix, 231p.ISBN: 9781032535296.Subject(s): Inaugurates -- Mad Studies -- Recovery | Psychological -- Mental health | Psycholosis -- Behavior -- HealthDDC classification: 616.858 Summary: This book inaugurates the field of Mad Studies in the Indian subcontinent investigating the barriers to recovery from the perspective of "patients" and caregivers. Offering a radical critique of the mental health system, it questions why the phenomenon of recovery from serious mental health issues is not more widespread. Drawing from narratives of "patients", evidence from lived experiences around the globe and literature on recovery in psychiatry, mental health legislations and policies, it establishes the hitherto silenced voice of the "patient" as having testimonial viability, via an emancipatory scholarship. It highlights the repeated marginalization of "patients" and the identity prejudice they experience in day-to-day situations as a form of epistemic violence. The book examines the barriers to recovery through an interdisciplinary investigation, scrutinizing relationships between individuals and institutions at interpersonal, intersocial and global levels.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
