| 요약 | Concern with the rise of diagnosed mental health disorders in the United States has reached the level of "crisis," bringing greater national attention to the quality of population-level mental health. Strategies to address this crisis, however, currently operate in a neoliberal socio-political context that has given rise to something of a paradox in which these strategies reproduce the very problem they are employed to address. This dissertation explores how, in neoliberal America, political and economic purpose contribute to the production of this paradox and how the paradigm of mental health recovery, touted by advocates as a more socially just paradigm of care, has been appropriated as a technical model of service delivery that does little to forward social justice.Drawing from Foucault as both method and source, this dissertation takes a historical turn to explore how discourses of "mental health" are invariably political as much as they are clinical. By looking to what Foucault calls the modern "episteme," this dissertation brings Western epistemological and ontological commitments born out of the Enlightenment into relief. It suggests these commitments-philosophical, ethical, and political-have produced a worldview that is at once scientific and postmodern and that neoliberal America's mental health paradox (and crisis) has been constructed from this worldview. By investigating the historically produced philosophical discourses employed through neoliberal reason, this dissertation explores how popularly embraced intellectual currents have constructed discourses around mental health and mental health recovery that mirror political and cultural norms even as they claim to reflect medical or objective science.Without denying the importance of medical and clinical purposes in providing mental health care, this dissertation asks how these commitments have produced the conditions of possibility through which psychiatric power is strategically deployed as political power, and how a discourse of mental health recovery was so easily absorbed and appropriated by neoliberalism to advance the same neoliberal interests that are producing America's mental health crisis. |
