Book description

This landmark collection examines psychiatric medicine in China across the early modern and modern periods. Essays focus on the diagnosis, treatment and cultural implications of madness and mental illness. From emotional therapy and missionary interventions in the late imperial era to the establishment of neuropsychiatry and the psycho-boom in the twentieth century, this book explores the complex trajectory of the medicalization of the mind in shifting political contexts of Chinese history.

Reviews

"'provides a fascinating and important historical backdrop to current debates in Chinese mental health care.'"
