- Description
- This short piece helps to situate this book for readers, including students and general audiences. It points to the way we listen to and hear madness in our communities. The Coda reflects on the way the contributors to this book highlight the roles played by words, actions and images as part of this study of madness, and it offers ways to make sense of the worlds of madness explored by these authors. It focuses on the stories and words used in documenting mental health and breakdown, the use of visual images in sharing ideas about madness, and the role of perceptions of institutional care, and the actions of advocates and activists in mental health care over time.
