Psychosis Under Discussion by Michael Farrell

Psychosis Under Discussion by Michael Farrell

Psychosis Under Discussion examines the ways in which psychosis is discussed by considering the relationship between language and the perception of mental disorder. A wide range of perspectives is discussed, from historical terms to contemporary media coverage, and each way of discussing psychosis is revealing.

Michael Farrell managed a UK-wide psychometric project for City University, London and directed a national initial teacher-training project for the UK Government Department of Education; for over a decade, he led teams inspecting mainstream and special schools and units (boarding, day, hospital, psychiatric). Currently, he works as a private consultant with a range of clients and has lectured or provided consultancy services in various countries including China, Japan, the Seychelles, Australia, Peru, Sweden and the UK. He has broadcast on the BBC World Service and on UK national radio and has written articles in a range of medical, psychological, legal and educational journals. His many books, which are translated into European and Asian languages, include Debating Special Education (Routledge, 2010) and New Perspectives in Special Education: Contemporary Philosophical Debates (Routledge, 2012).
