The first alternative, non-medical textbook of Psychiatry. Essential reading for students and those working in psychiatry, psychology, mental health nursing and social work. Also for service users, survivors and their families and friends. Volume 1 demonstrates the striking absence of bio-chemical or genetic evidence for any aspect of Psychiatry's conventional 'medical model of mental illness'. By employing the concepts of sociology, psychological analysis and the history of ideas, the authors unmask the prevailing false ideas about functional mental disorder and its treatment. They argue that those ideas and the accompanying practices express society's ill-judged, wishful responses to the universal dread of mental chaos.
