<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"How mental disorders became comparable worldwide through the making of metrics, focussing on the WHO's first international social psychiatry project"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The World Health Organization's post-World War II work on the epidemiology and classification of mental disorders and its vision of a world psyche.</b> <p/>In 1946, the World Health Organization undertook a project in social psychiatry that aimed to discover the epidemiology and classification of mental disorders. In <i>Mad by the Millions</i>, Harry Y-Jui Wu examines the WHO's ambitious project, arguing that it was shaped by the postwar faith in technology and expertise and the universalizing vision of a world psyche. Wu shows that the WHO's idealized scientific internationalism laid the foundations of today's highly highly metricalized global mental health system.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Harry Yi-Jui Wu is Associate Professor in the Cross College Elite Program and Department of Medical Humanities and Social Medicine at National Cheng-Kung University in Taiwan.
