Madness and Sanity: A Continuum
Description
This course is delivered in a flexible format. In Person and Online at the same time.
Everyone experiences mental and emotional distress over a lifetime, and many of us experience extremes of mental and emotional states that can be characterized as mental illness or distress; this continuum will be explored in this course from the perspective of lived experience and knowledge. Canadian Mad Studies, based on the work of the psychiatric consumer/survivor movement, is an emerging field informing mental health policy and practice and challenges dominant understandings of ?mental illness? as a lifelong, chronic and disabling medical condition. In this course, students will study the Mad movement's contributions to the advancing of the field of mental health, as well as the connections to other human rights movements.
