- Double-weighted statement
- We have requested that this output is double-weighted since it represents an extended and complex piece of research, which spans 300 pages and constitutes the first comprehensive, philosophical examination of claims and demands of ‘Mad activism’. The book is 11 chapters divided into four parts, which engage with a diverse set of disciplines, including philosophy of psychiatry, Mad studies, disability studies, activism, and literature on identity and recognition. The book as a whole analyses a wide range of existing literature on mental illness and on ethics and politics of identity and recognition, and draws on a variety of philosophical frameworks.
