课程名称：精神疾病历史 课程概述：我们的精神疾病词汇非常庞大，目前有数百种被分类的障碍以及各种药物和治疗方法。本课程探讨了这一富有成效的科学的历史——精神痛苦的发现、分类和治疗。课程从总体介绍开始，随后深入探讨四种精神疾病：神经衰弱、抑郁症、注意力缺陷（ADD/ADHD）和自恋。每种精神疾病都将从其科学研究和分类、为治愈或缓解症状而开发的治疗方法、被诊断者的生活经历及对诊断的批判性反思等方面进行深入分析。 本课程不同于主要记录科学成就的历史，而是邀请学员探讨科学发现和治疗方法如何深受当时文化条件的影响。影响精神科学的文化因素包括个人幸福的理想、“正常”的定义、理性人格的观念以及现存的社会、性别和种族等级/偏见。我们将研究这些文化动态，并关注那些被诊断或亲历这些状况的人的生活体验。重视文化和生活经历符合“疯狂研究”的视角，这是一个旨在突出受苦者及其经历的社会政治背景的运动。通过探讨文化动态与生活经历，以及科学里程碑，我们将为严肃反思精神病理学及其在现实世界中的表现做好准备。在我们的反思课中，我们将探讨例如，抑郁症和注意力缺陷症显著增加的背后原因；研究与治疗中的种族和性别偏见；显而易见的幸福流行病；以及神经多样性的前景等问题。 课程大纲： - 设定历史背景 - 神经衰弱 - 抑郁症 - 注意力缺陷 - 自恋

Description:
Our lexicon of mental illness is immense: There currently are hundreds of classified disorders and an extensive assortment of medications and therapies. This course explores the history of this productive science -- its discoveries, classifications, and treatments of psychiatric distress. The excursion begins with a general introduction and proceeds to explore 4 kinds of mental illness: neurasthenia, depression, attention deficits (ADD/ADHD), and narcissism. Each kind is examined in terms of its scientific research and classification; treatments developed to cure or alleviate its symptoms; lived-experiences of those so diagnosed with the disorder; and critical reflection on the diagnosis. This course departs from histories that mainly chronicle scientific achievements and, instead, invites you to investigate how the scientific discoveries and therapies were deeply informed by cultural conditions of the time. The cultural influences on psychiatric science include ideals of individual happiness; conceptions about what is ‘normal’; notions of rational personhood; and existing social, gender, and racial hierarchies/biases. We investigate these cultural dynamics and then look at the lived experiences of those who were diagnosed or living with the condition. Paying attention to culture and lived experiences accords with the perspective of “mad studies,” a recent movement to foreground the people who suffer and the socio-political conditions surrounding their experiences. Exploring cultural dynamics and lived experiences along with the scientific milestones prepares us to critically reflect on world of psychopathology and on psychopathology in the world. In our reflection classes we will ask, for instance, about the forces behind incredible increases in depression and attention deficit disorder; racial and gender biases in research and treatment; the apparent happiness epidemic; and the prospects of neurodiversity.
