      abstract = {"Madness" is, of course, personally experienced, but  because of its intimate relationship to the sociocultural  context, it is also socially constructed, culturally  represented and socially controlled--all of which make it a  topic rife for sociological analysis. Using a range of  historical and contemporary textual material, this book  exercises the sociological imagination to explore some of  the most perplexing questions in the history of madness,  including why some behaviors, thoughts and emotions are  labeled mad while others are not; why they are labeled mad  in one historical period.},
