With particular focus on accounts of lived experience and readings that cover issues of epistemic and social injustice in mental health discourse, the \u003ci\u003eMad Studies Reader \u003c\/i\u003ebrings together voices that advance anti-sanist approaches to scholarship, practice, art, and activism in this realm. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeyond offering a theoretical and historical overview of mad studies, this \u003ci\u003eReader\u003c\/i\u003e draws on the perspectives, voices, and experiences of artists, mad pride activists, humanities and social science scholars, and critical clinicians to explore the complexity of mental life and mental difference. Voices from these groups confront and challenge standard approaches to mental difference. They advance new structures of meaning and practice that are inclusive of those who have been systematically subjugated and promote anti-sanist approaches to counter inequalities, prejudices, and discrimination. Confronting modes of psychological oppression and the power of a few to interpret and define difference for so many, the \u003ci\u003eMad Studies Reader \u003c\/i\u003easks the critical question of how these approaches may be reconsidered, resisted, and reclaimed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection will be of interest to mental health clinicians; students and scholars of the arts, humanities and social sciences; and anyone who has been affected by mental difference, directly or indirectly, who is curious to explore new perspectives.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBradley Lewis\u003c\/b\u003e is a psychiatrist and psychotherapist with a background in the arts and humanities.
