This book is psychiatry's reply to the diverse group of antipsychiatrists that has made fashionable the view that mental illness is merely socially deviant behaviour. It establishes that mental illness has been recognised in all cultures since the beginning of history and goes on to explore the philosophical and medical basis for psychiatry's diagnosis and treatment of mental illness.
