Within the tresses of reality there lies the unknown, which everyone sees and hears around them every day of their lives, and yet they do not know it exists. Should they look up they would find themselves in a reality so terrible and sickening that they wouldn't believe it, and would sink back into their fantasy. This book holds within its pages this truth, this reality, so vivid and crazy that it can't possibly be true, but it is. It's the things you don't see that matter. It's the things that crawl inside you and block your vision, until it's like you're inside a tunnel, and before the entrance caves in, you must realize what kind of place that this world is becoming, or in this case, has already become. Some of you don't notice, others of you do, and still remain untouched by it, living in a world devoted to yourself, a shrine to greed and evil. So, look up, see the world around you, by opening this book, and let its pages be the truth, for it is so.

Stick with it.′ - Mental Health Care `This is a book which will apeal to those interested in theoretical debates rather than to practitioners who may find it heavey weather if they have not had the time or resources to engage with what are often quite difficult and often dense writings′ - British Journal of Social Work `This book.. present[s] a clarity that is vivid.... This book would be a good place for psychiatrists to start′ - British Journal of Psychiatry Pathology and the Postmodern explores the relationship between mental distress and social constructionism using new work from eminent scholars in the fields of sociology, psychology and philosophy.

Building upon work in such areas as labelling theory, feminist studies, linguistics, and post-structuralism, the twelve chapters engage the cultural, historical and political conditions that should be implicated in our understanding of contemporary mental suffering.
