- This book builds upon the practice turn in the history of science to carefully trace out the ways that the psyche was imagined and embodied in twentieth-century British primary care. Moving across popular literature, patient case notes, medical texts, policy documents, personal memoirs and social surveys, the book reconstructs the changing qualities, dimensions and temporalities of the psyche and the relationship between these transformations and the shifting political economy and culture of primary care. Ranging from the early history of psychological medicine through to the antidepressant era, it demonstrates the contingency of our current understandings of physical health.
