Subjectivity and Critical Mental Health: Lessons from Brazil
presents and discusses subjectivity as a key concept to challenge
the individualized and reified perspective that psychology and
mental health studies have traditionally sustained. Situated
against the maintenance of hierarchical, unilateral and
objectifying relations within mental health, this book is a timely
and necessary critical intervention. Drawing on Gonzalez Rey's
cultural-historical theory of subjectivity, the author constructs
points of convergence with critical social psychology, as well as
with some critiques from traditional psychiatry based on
antipsychiatry. Using empirical findings from original research
undertaken in Brazilian community mental health services, a complex
articulation between mental health, education and subjective
development is proposed by emphasizing a unified
research/professional practice, based on an ethics of the subject.
Ending by examining possible alternatives for critical mental
health that engage with culture and society, the book sets the
stage for further re-thinking of research and practice within the
critical mental health field. Accessibly written, the
interdisciplinary nature of the text should also make this book
fascinating reading for students and academics interested in
critical psychology, post-colonial studies, mental health and
education alike.
