Psychiatry and Generational Memory in Iran
Orkideh Behrouzan - 2016-10-26
Goodreads Rating
This book explores how emerging psychiatric discourses in post-1980s Iran have influenced the way people express and interpret their emotions. It analyzes how these experiences were once articulated in Persian poetic language and have now become part of clinical discourse on mood and affect. The author traces the historical circumstances that prompted the development of psychiatric discourses in Iran and examines how they shape Iranian culture today. This book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of clinical and anthropological perspectives and how stories are told.
