Of Others Inside: Insanity, Addiction And Belonging in America
"Of Others Inside" provides a new sociological understanding of the relationship between social exclusion and mental disability. Download Of Others Inside medical books for free.
Comparing mental disease and addiction, as well as two institutions set up to deal with both, Darin Weinberg shows with great insight and detail our treatment of the mentally ill and socially ostracized. "Of Others Inside" examines the way insanity became synonymous with other afflictions: homelessness, drug addiction, and alcoholism. He links this phenomenon with the transformation of addiction treatment from a redemptive process (through Alcoholics Anonymous and other quasi-religious social networks) to a punitive one, by showing the connection between addiction rehabilitation centers and the criminal justice system.
