{"product_id":"madness-mary-de-young-9780786433988","title":"Madness: An American History of Mental Illness and Its Treatment","description":"\u003cp\u003e \"Madness\" is, of course, personally experienced, but because of its intimate relationship to the sociocultural context, it is also socially constructed, culturally represented and socially controlled--all of which make it a topic rife for sociological analysis. Using a range of historical and contemporary textual material, this work exercises the sociological imagination to explore some of the most perplexing questions in the history of madness, including why some behaviors, thoughts and emotions are labeled mad while others are not; why they are labeled mad in one historical period and not another; why the label of mad is applied to some types of people and not others; by whom the label is applied, and with what consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary de Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786433981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786433988\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 302\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 6.03w x 0.68d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2010 pg. 89","brand":"Mary de Young","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926035792127,"sku":"9780786433988","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7d837196-7f84-4911-be0d-4f8e9d935d65.jpg?v=1681080823","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/madness-mary-de-young-9780786433988","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
