Description: Voices from the Inside : Readings on the Experience of Mental Illness, Paperback by Karp, David A.; Sisson, Gretchen E., ISBN 0195370457, ISBN-13 9780195370454, Brand New, Free shipping in the US One of sociologys most important missions is giving voice to those whose experiences are typically otherwise blunted, marginalized, or simply ignored. Featuring memorable, first-person accounts of mentally ill individuals, Voices from the Inside: Readings on the Experiences of Mental Illness
allows students to connect directly with real-life "experts" who know mental illness all too intimately.
This unique anthology addresses a variety of central topics surrounding mental illness, including suicide, hospitalization, the meanings of medication, the experiences of caregivers, and the stigma attached to mental illness. Each section of readings opens with a "sensitizing" introduction that
outlines key questions, specific matters for student consideration, and ways in which social scientists approach relevant substantive issues. The thought-provoking discussion questions following each set of readings are designed to foster vibrant class discussion.
Comprehensive enough to be used throughout a course--but brief enough to be combined with other supplementary materials or a full-scale textbook--Voices from the Inside is ideal for upper-level undergraduate or graduate courses on the sociology of mental health and illness. It can also be used in
courses in medical sociology, social work and mental health, nursing and mental health, and abnormal psychology.
