A Disability of the Soul: An Ethnography of Schizophrenia and Mental Illness in Contemporary Japan Ebook

“This is a terrific book?moving, clear, and compassionate. It not only illustrates the way psychiatric illness is shaped by culture, but also suggests that social environments can be used to improve the course and outcome of the illness. Well worth reading.”
