In Abolishing the Concept of Mental Illness: Rethinking the Nature
of Our Woes, Richard Hallam takes aim at the very concept of mental
illness, and explores new ways of thinking about and responding to
psychological distress. Though the concept of mental illness has
infiltrated everyday language, academic research, and public
policy-making, there is very little evidence that woes are caused
by somatic dysfunction. This timely book rebuts arguments put
forward to defend the illness myth and traces historical sources of
the mind/body debate. The author presents a balanced overview of
the past utility and current disadvantages of employing a medical
illness metaphor against the backdrop of current UK clinical
practice. Insightful and easy to read, Abolishing the Concept of
Mental Illness will appeal to all professionals and academics
working in clinical psychology, as well as psychotherapists and
other mental health practitioners.
