ISBN: 9780415153225 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Through detailed exploration of the history of psychiatry, current clinical issues and present public policy, this powerful book traces the... Forensic psychiatry is the discipline which distinguishes the 'mad' from the 'bad', but are its values inherently racist? Why are individuals from non...

The Europeans had indeed brought scientific enquiry and western bio-medicine; but they had also introduced a harsh, repressive political system which, coupled with a ruthlessly exploitative economic system, led to the introduction of new...
