This book is a rallying cry for a mental health revolution. The author dismantles the foundations of coercive psychiatry—forced medication, institutionalization, diagnostic control—and replaces them with bold, community-rooted alternatives grounded in dignity, autonomy, and liberation.
This book doesn’t just critique—it equips. From Greece’s reform failures to grassroots models like peer-run “safe houses,” it offers real-world tools: psychiatric wills, collaborative care plans, and the visionary Hellenic Observatory Blueprint. It fuses radical theory—Foucault, Marx, anarchist critique—with hands-on strategies clinicians can use now.
Perfect for frontline professionals, reform-minded policymakers, and educators ready to reimagine care, this guide is urgent, unflinching, and deeply humane. For those seeking to break the mold and build systems that heal rather than harm, it’s not just a book—it’s a blueprint for change.
