Mad Travelers: Reflections on the Reality of Transient Mental Illnesses - Page-Barbour Lecture
Ian Hacking
Ian Hacking uses the Albert Dadas case to weigh the legitimacy of cultural influences versus physical symptoms in the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders. He argues that psychological symptoms find stable homes at a given place and time, in ""ecological niches"" where transient illnesses flourish.
