{"product_id":"the-cultural-heritage-of-psychiatry-katrin-rzider-9789004745230","title":"The Cultural Heritage of Psychiatry and Its Literary Transformations: Middle Ages to the Present","description":"This volume investigates the role of English, British, Irish, American, Canadian and Nigerian anglophone literary conceptualizations of mental and social distress, its diagnosis and treatment as transformative parts of the cultural heritage of psychiatry. Demonstrating that the history of psychiatry is not a narrative of unbridled, unequivocal progress, the volume explores how literary texts negotiate and critique dominant and alternative forms and traditions of treatment and care, how they challenge the medicalization of non-normative thoughts and behaviour and how they bear witness to and fragmentarily retrieve and imagine suppressed voices, thereby producing counter-cultural memories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katrin Röder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004745238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004745230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.10w x 0.88d","brand":"Katrin Röder","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48800811024639,"sku":"9789004745230","price":136.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cultural-heritage-of-psychiatry-katrin-rzider-9789004745230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
