Description

This course looks at a number of questions about insanity or "madness": What it is like, how it should be described and regarded, therapeutic and curative responses to it, and what special treatment-if any-its sufferers deserve. We pay particular attention to the claims of the so-called "anti-psychiatry" movement, to Foucault and contemporary post-modernist writing, and to feminist analyses of the relation between madness and gender.

This course is closed for registration.
