- This major monograph (pp. xiii + 320; 150,000 words) is the culmination of five years of research, most of which was conducted in federal, regional and local archives in the United States. This research spans six presidential libraries in the National Archives system, with particular attention paid to the Carter and Clinton presidencies. The book is interdisciplinary, balancing an analysis of federal policy, grassroots activities and cultural representations, to demonstrate how mental health became deeply politicized in the late twentieth century. Each of the eight chapters contains work at least equivalent to a journal article.
