Double-weighted statement
This 400-page, 170,000-word monograph is the product of six years of archival work, during which time I consulted over 3000 documents and books at forty US and UK libraries and historical collections relating to the history of medicine, in addition to holdings on the cultural representations of mental health and illness published between 1945 and 1970. The book is thoroughly interdisciplinary, combining discussion of US national politics, institutional reports and healthcare debates with a detailed consideration of how culture and the media provided channels for shaping and challenging the public understanding of mental illness in the post-World War II period.
