A Rainbow of Animals by Melissa Stewart
This book offers something new in the history of psychiatry. Within a transnational research framework, it presents original historical case studies and conceptual reflections on comparative and related methodologies. Systematic comparison and transfer studies, as well as aspects of entangled history, are employed in relation to themes such as different cultural meanings pertaining to the same term; the transfer of treatment practices and institutional regimes; localised practices and (re)-emerging forms of patient care; the circulation of early anti-psychiatrists' views; the impact of war and politics on patients' welfare and on psychiatric discourse; and diversification of psychotherapeutic and physical practices. The book includes chapters on the history and historiography of psychiatry and psychotherapy in different geo-cultural regions in South America, Asia, the Pacific and Europe. The contributors present multilayered interpretations, emphasising commonalities and interconnections, as well as contrasts and discontinuities. With its wide-ranging geographical focus and attention to conceptual issues, this collection will assist in integrating and reconfiguring the historiography of psychiatry.
