This short book argues for the relevance of historical perspectives
on mental health, exploring how these histories can and should
inform debates about mental healthcare today. Why is it important
to study the history of madness? What does it mean to voice these
histories? What can these tell us about the challenges and legacies
of mental health care across the world today? Offering an
intervention into new ways of thinking - and talking - about 'mad'
history, Catharine Coleborne explores the social and cultural
impact of the history of the mad movement, self-help and mental
health consumer advocacy from the 1960s inside a longer tradition
of 'writing madness'. Starting with a brief history of the
relevance of first-person accounts, then looking at the
significance of other ways of representing the psychiatric
'patient', 'survivor' or 'consumer' over time, this book aims to
escape from dominant modes of writing about the asylum.
