How can sociology explain the emergence of mental disorders in
societies or individuals? This authoritative book makes a case for
the renewal of the sociology of mental illness, proposing a
reorganisation of this field around four areas: social
stratification, stress, labelling and culture. Drawing on case
studies from a range of global contexts, the book argues that
current research focuses on identifying 'social factors', leaving
the question of causality to psychiatry, while significant critical
perspectives remain untapped. The result is an unprecedented
resource that maps the current state of sociology of mental health,
providing an invigorating manifesto for its future.
