This handbook describes ways in which society shapes the mental health of its members, and shapes the lives of those who have been identified as mentally ill. The text explores the social conditions that lead to behaviors defined as mental illness, and the ways in which the concept of mental illness is socially constructed around those behaviors. The book also reviews research that examines socially conditioned responses to mental illness on the part of individuals and institutions, and ways in which these responses affect persons with mental illness. It evaluates where the field has been, identifies its current location and plots a course for the future.

In incorporating social process into a model of the dynamics of mental disorders, this text questions the individualistic model favoured in current psychiatric and psychoanalytic theory. While the conventional psychiatric viewpoint seeks the causes of mental illness, Scheff views "the symptoms of mental illness" as the violation of residual rules - social norms so taken for granted that they are not explicitly verbalized. The sociological theory developed by Scheff to account for such behaviour provides a framework for studies reported in subsequent chapters. Two key assumptions emerge: first, that most chronic mental illness is in part a social role; and second, that societal reaction may in part determine entry into that role. Throughout, the sociological model of mental illness is compared and contrasted with more conventional medical and psychological models in an attempt to delineate significant problems for further analysis and research. This third edition has been revised and expanded to encompass the controversy prompted by the first edition, and also to re-evaluate developments in the field. New to this edition are discussions of the use of psychoactive drugs in the treatment of mental illness, changing mental health laws, new social science and psychiatric studies, and the controversy surrounding the labelling theory of mental illness itself.

The second edition of A Handbook for the Study of Mental Health provides a comprehensive review of the sociology of mental health. Chapters by leading scholars and researchers present an overview of historical, social and institutional frameworks. Part I examines social factors that shape psychiatric diagnosis and the measurement of mental health and illness, theories that explain the definition and treatment of mental disorders and cultural variability. Part II investigates effects of social context, considering class, gender, race and age, and the critical role played by stress, marriage, work and social support. Part III focuses on the organization, delivery and evaluation of mental health services, including the criminalization of mental illness, the challenges posed by HIV, and the importance of stigma. This is a key research reference source that will be useful to both undergraduates and graduate students studying mental health and illness from any number of disciplines.

Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Sociology - Individual, Groups, Society, grade: 1,3, University of Tubingen (Soziologie), course: Social Inequality in the Life Course, language: English, abstract: Mental Illness has been the subject of several scientific disciplines. Three main approaches on mental illness can be distinguished: The biological approach, which looks for the determinants of mental illness in the physical body, the psychological approach, which looks for the determinants in the (internal) mind and the sociological, who looks for them in the (external) environment or the person's social situation. The sociological investigation of mental illness can be traced back to Durkheim and his study on suicide (originally published in 1897), in which he shows, how suicide rates are shaped by the structural and cultural constitution of a society. Durkheim also advocated the view on mental illness as a special form of breaking the societal norms and values. A perspective which had been picked up in Parsons (1951) analysis of illness as deviance. Most sociologists share the conception of mental illness as the absence of conformity to social norms and values. However, especially until the 1980es, sociology in general and medical sociology in particular, has often been accused of neglecting the field of mental health and illness (Bendelow 2004). Within the current sociological approach on mental illness three dominant theories exist: Stress Theory, Structural Strain Theory and the Social constructivist perspective, in particular labeling theory (e.g. Scheff 1966) and the work of Michelle Foucault (1969).

Labeling theory has been an extremely important and influential development in criminology, but its recent advances have been largely neglected. This volume aims to reinvigorate labeling theory by presenting a comprehensive range of its modern applications. In the first section, Ross Matsueda chronicles the early history of the theory. Fred Markowitz then reviews labeling theory research as applied to mental illness. Francis T. Cullen and Cheryl Lero Jonson discuss the relationship between labeling theory and correctional rehabilitation. The second section, which is focused on previous tests of labeling theory, begins with a review of prior empirical tests by Kelle Barrick. Anthony Petrosino and his colleagues then summarize their meta-analysis of the impact of the juvenile system processing on delinquency. Lawrence Sherman then discusses experiments on criminal sanctions. The final segment on empirical tests of labeling theory begins with a chapter by Marvin Krohn and his colleagues on the effects of official intervention on later offending. The long-term effects of incarceration are then investigated by Joseph Murray and his colleagues. Finally, Steven Raphael reviews the effects of conviction and incarceration on future employment. This landmark book presents the most comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge about labeling theory, and illustrates the importance of this theory for policy and practice. It is the latest volume in Transaction's acclaimed Advances in Criminological Theory series.

Estimates indicate that as many as 1 in 4 Americans will experience a mental health problem or will misuse alcohol or drugs in their lifetimes. These disorders are among the most highly stigmatized health conditions in the United States, and they remain barriers to full participation in society in areas as basic as education, housing, and employment. Improving the lives of people with mental health and substance abuse disorders has been a priority in the United States for more than 50 years. The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 is considered a major turning point in America's efforts to improve behavioral healthcare. It ushered in an era of optimism and hope and laid the groundwork for the consumer movement and new models of recovery. The consumer movement gave voice to people with mental and substance use disorders and brought their perspectives and experience into national discussions about mental health. However over the same 50-year period, positive change in American public attitudes and beliefs about mental and substance use disorders has lagged behind these advances. Stigma is a complex social phenomenon based on a relationship between an attribute and a stereotype that assigns undesirable labels, qualities, and behaviors to a person with that attribute. Labeled individuals are then socially devalued, which leads to inequality and discrimination. This report contributes to national efforts to understand and change attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that can lead to stigma and discrimination. Changing stigma in a lasting way will require coordinated efforts, which are based on the best possible evidence, supported at the national level with multiyear funding, and planned and implemented by an effective coalition of representative stakeholders. Ending Discrimination Against People with Mental and Substance Use Disorders: The Evidence for Stigma Change explores stigma and discrimination faced by individuals with mental or substance use disorders and recommends effective strategies for reducing stigma and encouraging people to seek treatment and other supportive services. It offers a set of conclusions and recommendations about successful stigma change strategies and the research needed to inform and evaluate these efforts in the United States.

This book has attempted to highlight the importance of emotions in mental illness. Emotional experiences have an important effect on child development and to determine emotional organisation. This emotional organisation influences the perception of the self, others, and the world. Despite the importance of emotions to understand the individuals complexity, cognition has been the most studied mental process in psychiatric illness because it can be easily verbalized. However, the origin of psychiatry and psychology highlights the importance of emotion rather than cognition. On the one hand, the work of Wundt supposed a milestone in the study of emotions in the lab. He is widely regarded as the father of experimental psychology. Likewise, Jaspers gave notes on how the patients themselves felt about their symptoms. Jaspers is widely regarded as the father of the biographical method. Both theses have been considered as reductionist perspectives. On the other hand, the work of Freud supposed another milestone in the study of emotions by means of the unconscious mind. He is one of the founding figures of psychoanalysis. Thus, he proposed interesting macro concepts, but they are not falsifiable. To sum up, paradigms in conflict posit difficulties to understand the complexity of emotions in mental illness. This book tries to bind both micro and macro components in order to understand the complexity of emotions in mental disorders. To this end, a preliminary chapter Affects and Psychoanalytical Theory examines the last contributions of psychoanalysis on emotional states from a macro conceptual perspective. To understand the etiology of emotional organization, the second chapter reviews the literature on Genetics of Emotional Dysregulation. With regards to the importance of emotional organizations, the third chapter highlights the study of Affective Temperament in Mood Disorders. The affective temperaments can elicit certain emotions over others and can determine the course and the illness prognosis. Similarly, negative life events can cause epigenetic changes and elicit biases to negative information. This thesis is explained in the fourth chapter, entitled Emotional World Perception in Depression. From a longitudinal perspective, emotional disturbances can be part of adolescence or can be an indicator of emotional vulnerability to develop a mental disorder. This differential diagnosis between normal or pathological mood is examined in the fifth chapter, Severe Mood Dysregulation in Adolescence. Subsequent chapters examine the last findings on emotions in different mental disorders other than affective disorders. The sixth chapter, The Role of Emotion in Eating Disorders goes further than eating behaviors and focuses on the emotional experience as an underlying mechanism. Similarly, the seventh chapter An Emotional Approach to Autism Spectrum Disorders indicates that emotions are not absent, but rather blocked.Therefore, this book will help readers to understand the role of emotion in psychopathology in terms of: i) Macro (psychoanalysis) and micro (research) conceptualizations; ii) the development of emotional organization across a life cycle; iii) the importance of emotional organization in the course of mental illness; iv) the fine frontier between pathological and non-pathological emotions; and v) the reconsideration of emotions as the underlying mechanism of abnormal behavior.
