They will be of interest to psychiatric teachers and practitioners, health planners, and socially responsible citizens.

Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


These volumes make substantial contributions to the history of psychiatry and society in three distinct ways:

First, they propose a theory of values and ideology that shape the evolution of psychiatry and society in recurring cycles, and they provide a comprehensive survey of the history of psychiatry in recent centuries through this lens.

Second, they examine the waxing, prominence, and waning of Community Mental Health as a notable example of this cyclical history of psychiatry.

Third, they offer the first biography of Erich Lindemann, one of the founders of social and community psychiatry, delving into his interactions with the historical environment and the profound influence this has on both his life and the field.

Returning to the topic of values and ideologies as influences on psychiatry, whether or not they are deemed professionally appropriate, this volume aims to foster self-reflection and an understanding of the sources, effects, and implications of values-based ideology on professional practice and the broader community in which psychiatry operates.

The books will be of immense interest to psychiatric educators, practitioners, health planners, and socially conscious citizens alike.
