Videotips: Guest lecture by Professor Nikolas Rose, 'Mental Illness: Five Hard questions'

Det har kommit upp en timslång föreläsning av Nikolas Rose, som jag nämnt otaliga gånger här, kring mentala störningar som är väl värd att se.

Abstract:  In this talk I want to characterize the ‘territory’ of mental illness today by posing five hard questions that seem to me to represent genuine empirical, conceptual, professional and ethical dilemmas.   My questions are: Is there an‘epidemic’ of mental disorder?;  Does the path to understanding mental disorder lie through the brain?;  What is the role of diagnosis and of diagnostic manuals?;  Should we seek early identification of those at risk of future mental pathology? What is the place of patients, users, survivors, consumers in the mental health system?  On the basis of this discussion, I will conclude by trying to draw out some lessons for the politics of mental health today.
