of that mind. With its roots in medicine, it may be no surprise that the medical specialism of psychiatry often falls back on the idea that the processes of the mind are simply determined by those of the body. However, as Chapter 3 will demonstrate, some strands in the world of mental health have strongly maintained that the mind is a psychological domain that can be understood and treated by psychological methods.
Porter (2004) pointed out that the voices of those most affected by the history of psychiatry have not been well heard. Chapter 2 will address this important issue.
