| Publisher Description: One of the ways that scholars and policy makers have attempted to address the problems of madness and distress is by applying theories and policies from disability, including the social model of disability. This book brings together leading scholars and activists from Europe, North America, Australia and India to explore the challenges to that approach and the relationship of madness, distress, and disability. |
