Madness explained
Book • 2003
In 'Madness Explained', Richard Bentall presents a psychological approach to understanding psychosis, arguing that experiences like delusions and hallucinations are part of human nature rather than distinct illnesses.
He critiques the biomedical model of mental illness, suggesting that psychological factors and societal influences play a significant role in mental health.
The book offers a nuanced perspective on the complexity of the human mind and the blurred lines between sanity and madness.
