From Madness to Mental Health
From Madness to Mental Health neither glorifies nor denigrates the contributions of psychiatry, clinical psychology, and psychotherapy, but rather considers how mental disorders have historically challenged the ways in which human beings have understood and valued their bodies, minds, and souls. Greg Eghigian has compiled a unique anthology of readings, from ancient times to the present, that includes Hippocrates; Julian of Norwich's Revelations of Divine Love, penned in the 1390s; Dorothea Dix; Aaron T. Beck; Carl Rogers; and others, culled from religious texts, clinical case studies, memoirs, academic lectures, hospital and government records, legal and medical treatises, and art collections. Incorporating historical experiences of medical practitioners and those deemed mentally ill, From Madness to Mental Health also includes an updated bibliography of first-person narratives on mental illness compiled by Gail A. Hornstein.

Conversations in Critical Psychiatry
Conversations in Critical Psychiatry brings together an edited selection of interviews from the series of the same name, published in the Psychiatric Times, with new and previously unpublished material. It explores critical and philosophical perspectives in psychiatry by engaging with prominent commentators within and outside the profession who have made meaningful criticisms of the status quo. By doing so, it advances our understanding of psychopathology and offers a pluralistic vision of psychiatric practice. The series started in May 2019; 33 interviews have been published to date and include many prominent psychiatrists and authors such as Allen Frances, Anne Harrington, Paul R. McHugh, S. Nassir Ghaemi, Lisa Cosgrove, Joanna Moncrieff, and Kenneth S. Kendler. Conversations in Critical Psychiatry brings together an edited selection of the most popular interviews along with some new material, including a detailed introductory essay “Psychiatry and the Critical Landscape”, previously unpublished interviews, and a new foreword.

American Cultural Rebels
Artistic vanguards plot new aesthetic movements, print controversial magazines, hold provocative art shows, and stage experimental theatrical and musical performances. These revolutionaries have often helped create America's countercultural movements, from the early romantics and bohemians to the beatniks and hippies. This work looks at how experimental art and the avant-garde artists' lifestyles have influenced, and at times transformed, American culture since the mid-nineteenth century. The work will introduce readers to these artists and rebels, making a careful distinction between the worlds of the high modern artist (salons and galleries) and the bohemian.
