Storming Bedlam

Storming Bedlam reimagines mental health care and its radical possibilities in the context of its global development under capitalism.

We live in a world oversaturated by new mental health programs, methods, and shifts that simply pile up and seem to lead nowhere. Storming Bedlam: Madness, Mental Health, and Revolt  suggests that psychiatry must face its repeated failures in the light of its utopian aspirations. Only by doing so can the intense contradictions that animate the world of mental health care be adequately conceptualized and situated as the basis for a future therapeutic practice.
