Cochrane argues that mental disorders are often defined and interpreted through social norms, power structures, and historical context. He explores how race, class, and culture influence diagnoses and treatment, challenging the objectivity of psychiatric labels. The book advocates for a more sociologically informed understanding of mental health and illness.
