More about the book
This exemplary book on the fight against the stigma of psychiatric illness reveals in two ways how art is involved. More than 20 psychiatrists, art historians, art therapists as well as artists describe the historic path of destigmatization, which is accompanied by a representative selection of about 100 pictures crossing all borders. Yet the position of the various authors in itself reflects the evolution from the anonymous „case“ to the „artist“, whose mental illness is a part of his privacy, thus separated from the value of the artwork.
