Madness explained : psychosis and human nature
Bentall, Richard
Madness explained : psychosis and human nature - Penguin, 2004 - 640p
Cover note: "Winner of the British Psychological Society book award 2004"
Clinical psychologist Richard Bentall challenges modern myths surrounding psychosis. He argues that we cannot define madness as an illness to be cured like any other; that labels such as schizophrenia and manic depression are meaningless, based on 19th-century classifications; and that experiences such as delusions and hearing voices are in fact exaggerations of the mental foibles to which we are all vulnerable.
