Mental illness: a conceptual analysis
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 July 2009
Synopsis
The concept of mental illness is explored by noting its connections with other concepts, such as deviance, social maladjustment and morbidity. It is fitted to patients from some of the chief categories into which they are classified by psychiatrists. The objection that the concept is one of value is examined and deflated.
