Doing Psychiatry in Postwar Europe : Practices, Routines and Experiences

Looking closely at practices that contributed to reshape the psychiatric field in the second half of the twentieth century, Doing psychiatry offers new insights into a mental health assistance in transformation after World War II. Through richly documented case studies across Europe, this book sheds light on marginal experiences and everyday practices, as well as the new fields of expertise that psychiatry appropriated.
