Losing Our Minds: The Challenge of Defining Mental Illness

byLucy Foulkes

Losing Our Minds is Lucy Foulkes's social inquiry of the Challenge of Defining Mental Illness. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of psychology and self – help. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. The emphasis stays on explanation, context, and the lived consequences behind the larger argument.
