'Postpsychiatry' shows how recent developments in philosophy and ethics can help us to clarify some of the dilemmas and conflicts around different understandings of madness. Throughout, the authors examine the conflicting ways in which politicians, academics, and mental health professionals appear to understand madness, and contrast this with voices and experiences that are usually excluded - those of the people who use mental health services. Drawing on evidence from service users and survivors, the humanities and anthropology, it points out a brave new direction for mental health practice.
