Opis: Inscription, Diagnosis, Deception and the Mental Health Industry - Craig Newnes

Do you ever wonder how psychology came to dominate everything from the sports pages in daily newspapers to the language we use to describe ourselves? This historical analysis by one of the UK's leading critical psychologists answers that question by exploring the history of the harm caused by the Psy professions, the complicity of governments in the expansion of the psychology, psychiatric and pharmaceutical industries, and some ways of resisting that expansion. From incarceration to lobotomy, ECT to psychotherapy and diagnosis to death-making, the Psy industry continues to govern us all. This scholarly critique shows how. "This is a scholarly contribution which exposes, not for the first time but in a way that is accessible and enjoyable and up to date, how psychiatry and psychology work, the material conditions under which they have been formed and the forms of resistance that might be elaborated to combat them." - Ian Parker, Leicester University School of Management, UKIntroduction 1.
