Seeing the Insane
How have the insane appeared in the eyes of the rest of society throughout history? And how has that changing image of the insane affected the way they have been identified or diagnosed, cared for or persecuted, confined or treated? "Seeing the Insane" is a monumental work tormenting in scholarly text and 287 remarkable illustrations the gradual evolution of the image of the insane from the Middle Ages onward. It is a richly detailed cultural history of madness and art in the Western world, showing how the portrayal of stereotypes has both reflected and shaped the perception and treatment of the mentally disturbed. Vividly presented in these pages are the symbols and icons that reveal the attitudes toward those who are "different"--The witches and demons, the wild men, the fools and fanatics. The 287 beautifully reproduced illustrations provide a striking panorama of the varying images of "insanity." -- From publisher's description.
Insane
An urgent exposéf the mental health crisis in our courts, jails, and prisons America has made mental illness a crime. Jails in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago each house more people with mental illnesses than any hospital. As many as half of all people in America's jails and prisons have a psychiatric disorder. One in four fatal police shootings involves a person with such disorders. In this revelatory book, journalist Alisa Roth goes deep inside the criminal justice system to show how and why it has become a warehouse where inmates are denied proper treatment, abused, and punished in ways that make them sicker. Through intimate stories of people in the system and those trying to fix it, Roth reveals the hidden forces behind this crisis and suggests how a fairer and more humane approach might look. Insane is a galvanizing wake-up call for criminal justice reformers and anyone concerned about the plight of our most vulnerable.
