Madness and the demand for recognition
A philosophical inquiry into identity and mental health activism
Contenu

Mad Pride and mad-positive activism reject the language of mental 'illness' and 'disorder' and demand recognition of madness as grounds for identity. This book examines and responds to the claims and demands of Mad activism.
