Case studies from across Europe allow readers to appreciate how new 'ways of doing' contributed to transform the field, beyond the watchwords of deinstitutionalisation, the prescription of neuroleptics, centrality of patients and overcoming of asylum-era habits. Through a variety of sources and often adopting a small-scale perspective, the chapters take a close look at the way new practices emerged and at how they installed themselves, eventually facing resistance, injecting new purposes and contributing to enlarging psychiatry's fields of expertise, therefore blurring its once-more-defined boundaries. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn electronic version of this title is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY 4.0) licence and can be downloaded from manchesterhive. \u003cbr\u003eDOI: 10.7765\/9781526173485\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEuropean psychiatry underwent numerous transformations in the second half of the twentieth century, and a variety of practices were experienced and routinised. Doing psychiatry in postwar Europe engages with this history through a close and fresh look at the practices that contributed to reshaping the mental health field. It uses case studies from across Europe to illustrate how new 'ways of doing' transformed the field beyond the watchwords of deinstitutionalisation, introduction of neuroleptics, centrality of patients and overcoming of asylum-era habits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough a variety of sources and often adopting a small-scale perspective, the volume takes a close look at the way new practices took shape and at how they installed themselves, eventually facing resistance, injecting new purposes, and contributing to enlarging psychiatry's fields of expertise, therefore blurring its once-more-defined boundaries. Studying psychiatry in its making and unmaking in the second half of the twentieth century allows one to see it less as a science grounded in theory or laboratory research than as an art of doing, which can be understood as the outcome of practices. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGiving significant attention to the actors of the psychiatric field, from doctors, patients and nurses to families, as well as other figures such as architects and sociologists, Doing psychiatry contributes to a renewal of the historiography of contemporary European psychiatry.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGundula Gahlen is a research associate at Ludwig-Maximilians-University. \u003cbr\u003eVolker Hess is chair of the Institute for the History of Medicine at the Charité Medical School. \u003cbr\u003eMarianna Scarfone is an associate professor at Strasbourg University. \u003cbr\u003eHenriette Voelker is a research associate at the Institute for the History of Medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.81 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 28, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52634053542195,"sku":"9781526173461","price":70.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/DzcCaQVr4L9781526173461.webp?v=1762239199","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/doing-psychiatry-in-postwar-europe-practices-routines-and-experiences-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
