Abstract

The book review "Memory, Anniversaries and Mental Health in International Historical Perspective: Faith in Reform" edited by Rebecca Wynter, Jennifer Wallis, and Rob Ellis explores the intersection of memory, history, and mental health in psychiatry. The anthology challenges the cultural tropes surrounding psychiatry and delves into the complexities of historical treatments viewed through modern lenses. Through a collection of essays, the book examines various aspects of psychiatry across different eras and regions, offering new insights into the field's past and present. The review highlights the diverse voices and themes within the book, making it a valuable resource for those interested in reevaluating the history of psychiatry. [Extracted from the article]
