DU PLESSIS, Rory. Narrating the heritage of psychiatry. Edited by Punzi, Elisabeth., Wächter, Cornelia., & Singer, Christoph. 2024. IT [online]. 2025, n.39, pp.1-4. ISSN 2617-3255.  https://doi.org/10.17159/2617-3255/2025/n39a9.

The edited volume, Narrating the heritage of psychiatry (2024), introduces new insights, perspectives, approaches and methods to explore the history and heritage of psychiatry. The volume is valuable for decentring dominant heritage discourses and in demonstrating the richness of narratives arising from silenced voices, community and stakeholder perspectives, archival sources and oral testimonies. Every chapter offers original research and is set to contribute to scholarly debates in the field of heritage studies, as well as aid future scholars in thinking critically and creatively in investigating additional voices and narratives in the heritage of psychiatry.

Palavras-chave : history of psychiatry; heritage of psychiatry; mad studies; mad activism; patient voices.
