Abstract

"Break on Through examines the mental health profession, activism, and the American mind in the 1970s. In exploring 'radicalism' and 'anti-psychiatry', Lucas Richert helps the reader understand changes in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders and struggles within the American Psychiatric Association but he also sheds new light on emergent mental health therapies (transactional analysis, Primal Therapy), Scientology, and the rise of parapsychology. Disputes in the field of psychiatry over homosexuality, drug use, or replicable drug trials, were but one element of wider political, economic, and cultural change. The politics of the era mattered particularly, as did the cultural trends, individual patients, and economic developments. The book offers a fresh view of the difficult struggles within psychiatry in the turbulent 1960-1970s. While there is a great deal of research on the coercive and overreaching power of the psychiatry profession and the medico-corporate establishment, on specific classes of psychiatric drugs, and the debates between bio-medically oriented psychiatrists and psychoanalysts, there is limited work about radical unrest within psychiatry. More broadly, by locating radical psychiatrists in the spectrum of health movements, Break on Through adds to our understanding of American health activism. Using a wide-ranging set of archival sources and a clear style, Break on Through draws on intersecting stories in psychiatry, policy, and drug development and regulation, to offer recommendations for the future. In the face of rising diagnoses for depression and ADHD, the need for common measures and standardized approaches in mental health, and major developments in drug regulation, the book's historical perspectives could not be timelier"--

Abstract

"The Camberwell Assessment of Need Forensic Version (CANFOR) is an individual needs assessment scale designed to identify to needs of people with mental health concerns who are in contact with forensic mental health services. It was developed by members of the Section of Community Psychiatry at the Institute of Psychiatry in London, in collaboration with clinicians at The Bracton Centre, a secure psychiatric facility operated by Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust. The CANFOR is based on the Camberwell Assessment of Need (CAN), a needs assessment scale designed to assess the needs of people with severe and/or enduring mental health problems (Phelan et al., 1995; Slade et al., 1999; Slade & Thornicroft, 2020). This is the 2nd edition of the CANFOR book; the 1st edition was published by the Royal College of Psychiatrists in 2003. In this 2nd edition we provide some updated guidance and minor changes, reflecting on our experiences with its implementation and use for research and in routine clinical practice over the last 17 years. Of specific note, we have changed the name and scope of two of the CANFOR domains to better reflect contemporary situations and circumstances. We have changed the Child care domain to Dependents in this 2nd edition to reflect changes that are emerging associated with an ageing population. We have also changed the Telephone domain to Digital communication to better reflect other additional and/or alternative ways of communicating with others (for example through social media)"--

Abstract

The historians, classicists and psychiatrists who have come together to produce Mental Disorders in the Classical World aim to explain how the Greeks and their Roman successors conceptualized, diagnosed and treated mental disorders. The Greeks initiated the secular understanding of mental illness, and have left us a large body of penetrating and thought-provoking writing on the subject, ranging in time from Homer to the sixth century AD. With the conceptual basis of modern psychiatry once again under intense debate, we need to learn from other rational approaches even when they lack modern scientific underpinnings. Meanwhile this volume adds a rich chapter to the cultural and medical history of antiquity. The contributors include a high proportion of the best-regarded scholars in this field, together with papers by some of its rising stars.
