Summary

When we set out to write this book, we wanted to examine values in psychiatry from two main directions. Firstly, we were curious to explore the role of values in mental illness and the recovery from it. Secondly, we were interested to showcase the valuable contributions of psychiatry to the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness.

Our historical analysis revealed some interesting facts and trajectories that still have their effect on how we understand mental illness today. Madness was transformed into a medical object by the nineteenth century. This was the result of the convergence of social, economic, and political factors. Putting medicine in charge has had profound consequences on many levels, including what has come to be regarded as legitimate ways of generating knowledge. The concepts of mental symptom and of madness with its varieties as clusters of symptoms led to the need to explain what keeps these symptoms together.
