Book Description
En el presente libro se abordan de manera breve los significados sociales de la locura y las maneras mediante las cuales históricamente la sociedad occidental se ha relacionado con ella. También se analizan los dispositivos y estrategias que se han articulado desde diferentes perspectivas a la hora de abordar el sufrimiento mental. Uno de los ejes de reflexión es pensar en qué circunstancias y en qué contextos y/o momentos la locura fue asimilada por una concepción sanitaria, que en la actualidad la define como una patología del ámbito de la mente. Se tratará, por lo tanto, de conocer los procesos a partir de los cuales dejó de ser vista como herejía religiosa o desacato moral y se transformó en uno de los problemas centrales del sistema sanitario y sus redes de atendimiento, hasta las formas de gobierno de la diferencia de nuestra actualidad.

ISBN: 1000051315
