Article: "America's Imperial Mental Illness"

Eve Tushnet, "America's Imperial Mental Illness," The American Conservative (February 20, 2015).

Eve Tushnet reviews Ethan Watters' Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche, which explores the ways in which the experience and treatment of mental illness has been culturally shaped and conditioned.  Watters' narrative, Tushnet contends, provides us with a critique of the American model of mental illness and might illuminate other ways of thinking about mental illness.
