About Madness Explained: Psychosis and Human Nature

Part of a Growing International Movement to Change the Face of Mental Illness. Is madness purely a medical condition that can be treated with drugs? Is there really a clear dividing line between mental health and mental illness – or is it not so easy to classify who is sane and who is insane? In Madness Explained leading clinical psychologist Richard Bentall shatters the modern myths that surround psychosis. This groundbreaking work argues that we cannot define madness as an illness to be cured like any other; that labels such as ‘schizophrenia’ and ‘manic depression’ are meaningless, based on nineteenth-century classifications; and that experiences such as delusions and hearing voices are in fact exaggerations of the mental foibles to which we are all vulnerable. We need, Bentall argues, a radically new way of thinking about psychiatric problems – one that does not reduce madness to bain chemistry, but understands and accepts it as part of human nature. ‘Bentall destroys many of the foundations underlying psychiatric thinking’ – Oliver James ‘A monumental study … brave, well-researched and accessible’ – Scotland on Sunday ‘Bental demystifies psychosis and restores the patient to a proper place with the rest of humankind’ – Aaron T. Beck
