The anti-psychiatry movement refutes this on grounds of lack of evidence claiming that mental illness is socially defined. Len Bowers offers a rational, objective and philosophical critique of the theories of mental illness as a social construct and concludes that, though sometimes misguided, they cannot be wholly rejected. This critical scrutiny of a controversial and keenly-debated issue will be of interest to psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, sociologists and professionals in paramedical disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863499342112,"sku":"NEW0415227771","price":69.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51mF6Y08taL.jpg?v=1781639681","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-social-nature-of-mental-illness-0415227771","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
