This book is an introduction to the uncertainties about madness. Using case studies of real people in order to explain, humanise, and bring to life the subject, the book critically analyses how madness has been and is understood, or perhaps misunderstood. By contrasting past and present people who have been perceived as mad and/or perceive themselves as mad, it presents core ideas about madness and critiques their would-be robustness in explaining the specific madness of the person in question as well as their general relevance to the concept of madness overall.
