Ebook: Humanizing Mental Illness: Enhancing Agency through Social Interaction

How society can, and should, enhance the agency of people with mental illness and work against its socially isolating effects.

Humanizing Mental Illness demonstrates that we need to challenge our explicit and implicit biases and learn to interact with mental illness in more intentional, supportive, and inclusive ways. While most philosophical accounts of the matter are concerned with the question of how much agency a person with mental illness has, this book asks how we can enhance the agency of people with mental illness.
