More about the book
The book explores mental health through a critical realist lens, navigating between psychiatric positivism and poststructuralist nihilism. It draws on philosophical insights, particularly from Roy Bhaskar, rather than relying solely on psychiatry or social science. This approach aims to provide a balanced understanding of mental health, moving beyond simplistic realism and skepticism, and incorporates diverse disciplinary knowledge to enrich the discussion.
