Reviews
Madness and the demand for recognition amplifies the value of Mad Movement efforts to bring about societal transformation, and may offer us some theoretical anchors, emerging from our own descriptions of our work, to bolster our activities. * Alise de Bie, Disability & Society *
Rashed's Madness and the Demand for Recognition is the first book that, in terms of the theory of recognition, is devoted to the central question of social psychiatry: how - outside of a medical-psychiatric framework - can we deal with demands for social and cultural recognition by people with psychiatric experience ... The book is written clearly and precisely and, despite its academic character, is very easy to read. * Lukas Iwer, Sozialpsychiatrische Informationen *
