Beskrivning

This open access book investigates psychiatry in Uganda during the years of decolonisation. As Pringle shows, however, the history of psychiatry during the years of decolonisation remained one of marginality, and ultimately, in the context of war and violence, the decolonisation of psychiatry was incomplete.
