The development of the internet has brought about a seachange in the traditional doctor-patient relationship. No longer is the patient entirely at the mercy of their doctor to tell them about their problems. Via the internet they can now access vast repositories of information, about even the most obscure disorder - not all of it accurate, not all of it safe. This has changed society's attitudes to medicine generally, and certainly affected the way it views the field of psychiatry. The situation has hardly been helped by a series of well publicised scandals over the past 25 years. There are also issues regarding changing social attitudes to psychiatry, and the stigma of mental illness.This book presents a timely appraisal of the status of psychiatry and its relationship with society in the second decade of this century. It brings together an international team of specialists who review critical issues such as training, professionalism, regulation, ethics, and economics. Together, it constitutes a far-reaching document that considers the status of psychiatry now, and how it should develop in the coming years. A publication of great significance, this book will be of interest to all practising psychiatrists and mental health professionals, as well as policy makers, and those involved in patient groups.

Mind, State and Society examines the reforms in psychiatry and mental health services in Britain during 1960-2010, when de-institutionalisation and community care coincided with the increasing dominance of ideologies of social liberalism, identity politics and neoliberal economics. Featuring contributions from leading academics, policymakers, mental health clinicians, service users and carers, it offers a rich and integrated picture of mental health, covering experiences from children to older people; employment to homelessness; women to LGBTQ+; refugees to black and minority ethnic groups; and faith communities and the military. It asks important questions such as: what happened to peoples' mental health? What was it like to receive mental health services? And how was it to work in or lead clinical care? Seeking answers to questions within the broader social-political context, this book considers the implications for modern society and future policy. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Psychiatry after Kraepelin: Ambition, Images, Practices 1926–2026 brings together an outstanding group of contributors to reflect on the centenary of Emil Kraepelin’s death—one of the most influential figures in shaping psychiatry’s medical identity. Moving both through and beyond Kraepelin’s legacy, the volume is grounded in an understanding of psychiatry as a field that is not only medical, but also deeply social and personal in nature.This is an Open Access book. Spanning a wide methodological, geographical, and chronological range, the chapters draw on insights from multiple disciplines and the lived experiences of mental health service users. Together, they illuminate both some key scientific and clinical advances in psychiatry and some profound—and at times catastrophic—failings that have marked its history. Embracing a pluralism of perspectives, this timely volume offers critical reflections and constructive insights for addressing some of the most pressing challenges facing mental health care in an increasingly conflicted world.Psychiatry after Kraepelin is an essential text for current and aspiring psychiatrists; a resource not just for the personal library but also to trigger vital discussions in clinical and educational supervision and journal clubs worldwide. Subodh Dave Dean, Royal College of Psychiatrists, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Greater ManchesterPsychiatry after Kraepelin is a thoughtful, clever, and intelligently compiled handbook on the path dependencies that have shaped psychiatry. The editors' modest description of the book as a "montage" does not do justice to its significance. Rather, it is a valuable resource that offers insights into the historical and philosophical contexts that have influenced current perspectives on psychiatry, with both positive and negative effects on humanity, mental health and public health.” Heiner Fangerau Professor and Head of Department of History, Philosophy and Ethics of Medicine, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf.
