Product Description
This book focuses on the paradoxical effect of social crises on mental health. When crises occur there's an upsurge of mental suffering due to an intensification of such social insanities as violence inequality and insecurity. Paradoxically there are positive consequences due to acts of kindness cooperation and the ability to cope and hope. Two interconnected categories of social crises are covered in the book. These are as follows: contagions (for example the COVID-19 pandemic numerous outbreaks of plague and smallpox since medieval times and the 1918 influenza pandemic); conflicts (including the Russian invasion of Ukraine and aspects of world war such as the Holocaust the use of nuclear bombs in the Second World War and the climate emergency). What is also explored in the book is whether there is an amplification of everyday difficulties whereby having a âmental health problemâ has become normalised. The idea of âmental-healthismâ is introduced to explain the cultural shift towards this apparent normalisation of ordinary psychological suffering. The book will be of interest to students practitioners and researchers from sociology psychology nursing social work and psychiatry among others. | Social Crisis and Mental Health Signs of Sanity
