These volumes make significant contributions to the history of psychiatry and society in three distinct ways:
First, they present a theory that explains the cyclical evolution of psychiatry and society, influenced by recurring values and ideologies. By examining the history of psychiatry in recent centuries through this lens, they shed light on the underlying patterns and trends.
Second, they provide a comprehensive review of the rise, prominence, and decline of Community Mental Health as a significant segment of this cyclical history. This analysis offers valuable insights into the changing perspectives, practices, and challenges faced by mental health professionals and organizations over time.
Third, the books offer the first biography of Erich Lindemann, one of the pioneering figures in social and community psychiatry. Through this biography, readers gain a deeper understanding of Lindemann's life, work, and the impact he had on the field. The authors also explore the interplay between Lindemann and the historical environment, examining how his values and ideologies shaped his contributions and the influence they had on the broader society.
Returning to the topic of values and ideologies as influences on psychiatry, whether or not they are considered professionally appropriate, these volumes aim to provoke self-reflection and an acceptance of the sources and effects of ideology on professional practice. They also explore the impact of values-based ideology on the community in which psychiatry operates.
The books will be of interest to psychiatric teachers, practitioners, health planners, and socially responsible citizens who seek to understand the past and shape the future of mental health care and society.
