Mental health movements have overemphasised individual civil liberty at the expense of developing collective responsibility for mental health care

A classic in the field of mental health, one of the few credible critiques of the anti-psychiatry movement which retains its significance today, Psychopolitics includes scholarly appraisals of the ideas of Goffman, Laing, Szasz and Foucault and proposals for a politics of mental health which neither separates mind and body, nor abdicates responsibility for the alleviation of suffering. Sedgwick argues that mental health movements have overemphasised individual civil liberty at the expense of developing collective responsibility for mental health care.

Peter Sedgwick (1934-1983) was a Marxist, a trained psychologist and the translator of the revolutionary Victor Serge. His classic book PsychoPolitics is considered to be his major achievement, lauded by psychiatrists, social workers and philosophers alike.
