Building on the author's extensive research the book provides an empirical account and exploration of the key features including: an account of the key social movements and organizations who have contested psychiatry over the last fifty yearsthe theorization of resistance to psychiatry which might apply to other national contexts and to social movement formation and protest in other medical arenasthe exploration of theories of power in psychiatry.
