Summary:
"
Madness
,
Violence
, and
Power
: A
Critical
Collection
disengages from the common forms of discussion about
violence
related to mental health service users and survivors which position those users or survivors as more likely to enact
violence
or become victims of
violence
. Instead, this book seeks to broaden understandings of
violence
manifest in the lives of mental health service users/survivors, 'push' current considerations to explore the impacts of systems and institutions that manage 'abnormality', and to create and foster space to explore the role of our own communities in justice and accountability dialogues. This
critical
collection
constitutes an integral contribution to
critical
scholarship on
violence
and mental illness by addressing a gap in the existing literature by broadening the "
violence
lens," and inviting an interdisciplinary conversation that is not narrowly biomedical and neuro-scientific."--From publisher.
