Antipsychiatry

Social theory and social practice

Anti-psychiatry was formed on the intersection of several fields: psychiatry, philosophy, psychoanalysis, critical social theory and others. The field was initiated in the 1960s, a time of social transformation in the USA. Anti-psychiatry advocates declared that mental disease is a myth and that freedom heals all psychological problems. Many psychiatric clinics were closed and many therapeutic communes were organized. This book analyzes this radical wave, the problems it faced and the results of their activity.
