Abstract

This article is a review of On Madness and the Demand for Recognition: A philosophical inquiry into identity and mental health activism by Dr Mohammed Abouelleil Rashed (Oxford University Press, 2019), a psychiatrist-turned-philosopher.

The article appeared on the BMJ Medical Humanities blog. The republished version on Academia.edu has been assessed nearly 600 times within a few months.
