Pathographies of Mental Illness, Paperback / softback Book

Pathographies of Mental Illness Paperback / softback

Part of the Elements in Bioethics and Neuroethics series

Paperback / softback

Description

This Element is a survey of the field of pathographies of mental illness.

It explores classic texts in the field as well as other selected contemporary memoirs.

In doing so, the reader is introduced to psychiatric information about various mental illnesses through a narrative lens, emphasizing experience. Because clinical research is evidenced-based and aims to produce generalizable knowledge (i.e., trends), the reading of pathographies can complement these findings with practical experiential insights.

By pairing psychiatric information with pathographies, certain personal themes become apparent that are different from the empirical trends identified by scientific and medical researchers.

Based on the survey presented here, this Element identifies seven such themes, laying the foundation for future research, inquiry, practice, and policy.
