商品描述

This book is the first to explore memory, misremembering, forgetting, and anniversaries in the history of psychiatry and mental health. It challenges simplistic representations of the callous nature of mental health care in the past, while at the same time eschewing a celebratory and uncritical marking of anniversaries and individuals. Asking critical questions of the early Whiggish histories of mental health care, the book problematizes the idea of a shared professional and institutional history, and the abiding faith placed in the reform of medicine, administration, and even patients. It contends that much post-1800 legislation drafted to ensure reform, acted to preserve beliefs about the 'bad old days' and a 'brighter future' in the state memories of imperial powers, which in turn exported these notions around the world. Conversely, the collection demonstrates the variety of remembering and forgetting, building on recent interest in the ideological and cultural linkages between pastand present in international psychiatric practice. In this way, it seeks to trace the pathways of memory, exploring the direction of travel, and the perpetuation, remodeling, and uprooting of recollection.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是第一部探討記憶、錯誤記憶、遺忘以及精神病學和心理健康歷史中的紀念日的著作。它挑戰了對過去精神健康護理冷酷本質的簡化表述,同時避免對紀念日和個體的慶祝性和不加批判的標記。該書對早期的自由主義精神健康護理歷史提出了批判性問題,並使共享的專業和機構歷史的概念變得複雜化,以及對醫療、行政甚至患者改革的持久信仰。它主張,許多在1800年後制定的立法旨在確保改革,卻實際上保留了對「壞舊時代」和「光明未來」的信念,這些信念在帝國權力的國家記憶中存在,並進而將這些觀念輸出到世界各地。相反,這本書展示了記憶和遺忘的多樣性,並基於最近對國際精神病學實踐中過去與現在之間意識形態和文化聯繫的興趣進行探討。這樣,它試圖追溯記憶的路徑,探索旅行的方向,以及回憶的延續、重塑和根除。
