520 $a"Schizophrenia was the 20th century psychiatry's arch concept of madness, yet for most of the past century the concept of schizophrenia was both problematic and contentious. This book explores schizophrenia's historic instability as its definition changed across decades and countries, various symptoms were attributed to it and uncertain boundaries developed. The problematic language that has emerged around the concept is also explored along with the role of anti-psychiatry in relation to schizophrenia. Finally, the North American psychiatric industry's attempts to stabilize the definition through inclusion in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders are also examined"--$cProvided by publisher.
