Why and how has depression become such a topical illness and what does it tell us about changing ideas of the individual and society? Alain Ehrenberg investigates the history of depression and depressive symptoms across twentieth-century psychiatry, showing that identifying depression is far more difficult than a simple diagnostic distinction between normal and pathological sadness - the one constant in the history of depression is its changing definition. Drawing on the accumulated knowledge of a lifetime devoted to the study of the individual in modern democratic society, Ehrenberg shows that the phenomenon of modern depression is not a construction of the pharmaceutical industry but a pathology arising from inadequacy in a social context where success is attributed to, and expected of, the autonomous individual. In so doing, he provides both a novel and convincing description of the illness that clarifies the intertwining relationship between its diagnostic history and changes in social norms and values. The first book to offer both a global sociological view of contemporary depression and a detailed description of psychiatric reasoning and its transformation - from the invention of electroshock therapy to mass consumption of Prozac - The Weariness of the Self offers a compelling exploration of depression as social fact. 517 3 $aDiagnosing the history of depression in the contemporary age 606 $aDepression, Mental$xHistory 606 $aDepression, Mental$xSocial aspects 606 $aSocial psychiatry 606 $aSocial psychology 615 0$aDepression, Mental$xHistory. 615 0$aDepression, Mental$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSocial psychiatry. 615 0$aSocial psychology. 676 $a616.85/27 700 $aEhrenberg$b Alain$0241908 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789844603321 996 $aThe weariness of the self$93853514 997 $aUNINA 999 $p$26.22$u01/04/2019$5Psych
