{"product_id":"mental-disorder-nichola-khan-9781442635333","title":"Mental Disorder: Anthropological Insights","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis brief book introduces the ways in which contemporary anthropology engages with the \"psych\" disciplines: psychology, psychiatry, and medicine. Khan also widens the conversation by including the perspectives of epidemiologists, addiction and legal experts, journalists, filmmakers, activists, patients, and sufferers. New approaches to mental illness are situated in the context of historical, political, psychoanalytic, and postcolonial frameworks, allowing readers to understand how health, illness, normality, and abnormality are constructed and produced. Using case studies from a variety of regions, Khan explores what anthropologically informed psychology, psychiatry, and medicine can tell us about mental illness across cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nichola Khan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442635339\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442635333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Nichola Khan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072964948223,"sku":"9781442635333","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bc7b6038-3010-4480-84a0-de69ca54bff9.jpg?v=1685444993","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mental-disorder-nichola-khan-9781442635333","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
