Psychiatry is in the process of rediscovering its roots. It seemed as if the long history of interest in the impact of society on the rates and course of serious mental illness had been forgotten, overtaken by the advances of neuroscience and genetics. However, as our knowledge of physiological and genetic processes improves it becomes increasingly clear that social conditions and experiences over the life course are crucial to achieving a full understanding. Old controversies are giving way to genuinely integrated models in which social, psychological and biological factors interact over time, culminating in the onset of psychosis. This book reviews these issues from an international perspective, laying the foundations for a new understanding of the psychotic disorders, with profound implications for health policy and clinical practice. It should be read by all members of the mental health team and those responsible for service organization and management.

"Le monde est déchaîné. La violence n'y a pas reculé, comme le pensent certains. Elle a changé de formes, et de logique, moins visible, plus constante : on est passé de l'esclavage au burn-out, des déportations à l'errance chronique, du tabassage entre collégiens à leur humiliation sur les réseaux sociaux, du pillage des colonies aux lois expropriant les plus pauvres... L'oppression sexuelle et la destruction écologique, elles, se sont aggravées. Plutôt qu'enrayée, la violence a été prohibée, d'un côté, pour « pacifier » policièrement les sociétés, et systématisée de l'autre, à même nos subjectivités et nos institutions : par la logique comptable, sa dynamique sacrificielle, par la guerre normalisée, la rivalité générale et, de plus en plus, les nouvelles images. Si bien qu'on est à la fois hypersensibles à la violence interpersonnelle et indifférents à la violence de masse. Dans le désastre néolibéral, le mensonge de l'abondance et la stimulation de nos forces de vie ont fait de nous des sauvages d'un genre neuf, frustrés et à cran, et non les citoyens affables que la « civilisation » voulait former. Pour sortir de ce circuit infernal, et de l'impuissance collective, de nouvelles luttes d'émancipation, encore minoritaires, détournent ces flux mortifères d'énergie sociale. Mais d'autres les convertissent en haines identitaires et en replis patriotes. Qui l'emportera ? De quel côté échappera toute la violence rentrée du monde ?"

By learning from the past and continuing to look toward the future, it can provide a better understanding of what the ever-changing configurations of technology and society mean, both for the everyday life of individuals and for the continued development of society at large.This second edition presents new and original contributions examining the escalating concerns around social media, disinformation, big data, and privacy. Following a foreword by Manual Castells, the editors introduce some of the key issues in Internet Studies. The chapters then offer the latest research in five focused sections: The Internet in Everyday Life; Digital Rights and Human Rights; Networked Ideas, Politics, and Governance; Networked Businesses, Industries, and Economics; and Technological and Regulatory Histories and Futures. This book will be a valuable resource not only for students and researchers, but for anyone seeking a critical examination of the economic, social, and political factors shaping the Internet and its impact on society.
