The Muslim, State and Mind: Psychology in Times of Islamophobia (Social
15,91 €
Mental health is positioned as the cure-all for society's discontents, from pandemics to terrorism. But the psy-disciplines-psychology and psychiatry-are not apolitical. This book will demonstrate how their theories and practices necessarily serve State interests and are integral in the perpetuation of inequality-especially racism-by drawing on theory, policy and clinical practices. Viewing the psy-disciplines from the margins, with a particular emphasis on Muslims, this book illustrates how these necessarily serve the State in the production of loyal, low-risk and productive citizens, offering a modern discussion of three paradigms underlying the psy-disciplines: capitalism, nationalism and securitisation.
