Challenging conventional psychiatric doctrines, this book critiques how insanity is defined by science and society. The author argues that insanity cannot be objectively identified, presenting a nuanced view that differentiates it from social deviance, bodily illness, and the sick role. By emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between true biological conditions and societal perceptions, the work aims to reshape the understanding of psychiatric issues. This critical examination is poised to become a significant contribution to the field of behavioral science.
