This volume highlights the importance of diverse voices and perspectives in understanding the history and heritage of psychiatry. Exploring the complex interrelations between psychiatry, heritage and power, Narrating the Heritage of Psychiatry complicates the pervasive biomedical narrative of progress in which the history of psychiatry is usually framed. By examining multiple perspectives, including those of users/survivors of mental health services, the collection sheds light on neglected narratives and aims to broaden our understanding of psychiatric history and current practices. In doing so, it also considers the role of art, activism, and community narratives in reimagining and recontextualizing psychiatric heritage. This volume brings into conversation perspectives from practitioners, patients/users and scholars from the humanities and social sciences.

Elisabeth Punzi, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist and Associate Professor at the Department of Social Work and Center for Critical heritage Studies, Gothenburg University. She researches the heritage of psychiatry and the meaning of creative expressions for persons recovering from mental health issues.

Christoph Singer, Ph.D., is Professor of British and Anglophone Cultural Studies at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. He published Sea Change: The Shore from Shakespeare to Banville (Brill Rodopi, 2014) and is co-editor of Narrative and Mental Health: Reimagining Theory and Practice (Oxford University Press, 2023).

Cornelia Wächter, Ph.D., is Professor of British Cultural Studies at the Technical University of Dresden, Germany. Her publications include Place-ing the Prison Officer (Brill, 2015) and, as co-editor, Negotiating Institutional Heritage and Wellbeing (Brill Rodopi, 2021).
