Understanding Mental Health

Více o knize

The book presents a critical realist perspective on mental health, navigating between psychiatric positivism and the nihilism found in contemporary French poststructuralism. It draws on philosophical insights, particularly from Roy Bhaskar, rather than solely relying on psychiatry or social science. This approach aims to provide a balanced understanding of mental health, moving beyond simplistic realism and postmodern skepticism, by integrating diverse disciplinary knowledge while emphasizing philosophical frameworks.
