Contributor: : Fezzanne Anak Raymond Umpu
Summary: Mental Health in Crisis is an outstanding polemic against neo-liberalism and its impact on mental health care. Vos, Roberts and Davies offer a lucid and compelling analysis of how emotional wellbeing is conceptualised, medicalised and compromised in the United Kingdom. Western countries face the biggest national mental health crisis in thier history. This book brings together empirical research to argue that ten key socio-political, economic and medical crises have led to this crisis in mental health care. In the final chapter, the authors look to alternatives that could help resolve this crisis.
