Narrative and Mental Health
This book foregrounds the importance of narrative as a conceptual paradigm for understanding mental health issues, presenting stories as an alternative source of knowledge and expression. At the same time, the volume acknowledges potential limitations of narrative paradigms, especially when these are coupled with normative expectations of truthfulness, coherence, and comprehensiveness.
Madness and Literature
Mental illness has been a favourite topic for authors throughout the history of literature, while psychologists and psychiatrists such as Sigmund Freud and Karl Jaspers have in turn been interested in and influenced by literature. Pioneers within philosophy, psychiatry and literature share the endeavour to explore and explain the human mind and behaviour, including what a society deems as being outside perceived normality. Using a theoretical approach that is eclectic and transdisciplinary, this volume engages with literature’s multifarious ways of probing minds and bodies in a state of mental ill health. The cases and the theory are in dialogue with a clinical approach, addressing issues ...
Eating Disorders in Public Discourse
Eating disorders remain little understood by the public, and sensationalist stories in the media have done little to dispel simplistic and reductionist perspectives. This edited volume uses a range of language-centred approaches to provide much needed critical in-depth analysis and interdisciplinary synthesis. The book brings together researchers from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds – including communication and information studies, journalism, linguistics, mental health, nursing, psychology and public health – in a collective endeavour to explore the complex relationship between eating disorders, public discourse and lived experiences. Topics tackled include the use of stigmatisin...
Mental Health Ontologies
Mental health presents one of the defining public health challenges of our time. Proponents of different conceptions of what mental illness is wage war for the hearts and minds of patients, practitioners, policy-makers, and the public. Debate and fragmentation around the nature of the entities that feature in the mental health domain divide resources and reduce progress. The way mental health is publicly discussed in the media has tangible effects, in terms of stigma, access to healthcare and resources, and private expectations of recovery. This book explores in detail the sorts of statements that are made about mental health in the media and public reporting of scientific research, groundin...
Angst i dansk litteratur
”Jeg har en Angst som aldrig før”, hedder det hos H.C. Andersen. For Tom Kristensen er angsten ”asiatisk i Vælde”, mens Tove Ditlevsen oplever ”Verdenshave af Angst”. I de sidste 200 år har angst været et centralt tema i dansk litteratur – helt frem til bekymringen for teknologiske og klimamæssige forandringer hos en samtidsforfatter som Jonas Eika. Romaner, noveller og digte forvandler oplevelser af angst til litterær form. Litteraturhistorien er dermed et emotionelt arkiv, der opsamler fortolkninger af angst og forandringer i angstens udtryksformer. Ved at undersøge, hvordan angsten er skildret hos forskellige forfattere på tværs af tid, får vi et dybere indblik i angstens rolle i den menneskelige tilværelse. I bogen analyserer 13 forskere repræsentationer af angst i dansk litteratur fra H.C. Andersen og Søren Kierkegaard over blandt andre det moderne gennembruds kvindelige forfattere, Henrik Pontoppidan og Inger Christensen frem til de nyeste tendenser inden for spekulativ fiktion.
The Health Humanities in German Studies

Madness
This fascinating story of madness reveals the radically different perceptions of madness and approaches to its treatment, from antiquity to the present day. Roy Porter explores what we really mean by 'madness', covering an enormous range of topics from witches to creative geniuses, electric shock therapy to sexual deviancy, psychoanalysis to prozac. The origins of current debates about how we define and deal with insanity are examined through eyewitness accounts of those treating patients, writers, artists, and the mad themselves.

The Rhetoric of Fictionality
Narrative theory has always been centrally concerned with fiction, yet it has tended to treat fictions as if they were merely the framed or disowned equivalents of nonfictional narratives. A rhetorical perspective upon fictionality, however, sees it as a direct way of meaning and a distinct kind of communicative gesture. The Rhetoric of Fictionality: Narrative Theory and the Idea of Fiction by Richard Walsh argues the merit of such a perspective and demonstrates its radical implications for narrative theory. A new conception of fictionality as a distinctive rhetorical resource, somewhat like the master-trope of fictional narrative, cuts across many of the core theoretical issues in the field. The model, set out in chapter one, is subsequently tested and elaborated in relation to currently prevalent assumptions about narrativity and mimesis; narrative structure; the narrator and transmission; voice and mediacy; narrative media and cognition; and creativity, reception, and involvement. Throughout, the theoretical analysis seeks to vindicate readers' intuitions about fiction without merely restating them: the result is a forceful challenge to many of narrative theory's orthodoxies.
