A Mad Turn
Edited by Phil Smith

Written by Mad scholars, A Mad Turn explores the field of Mad Studies in theory and practice, and what Mad Studies can bring to academia and to other social institutions. What does it mean to “do” Mad Studies? What are the field’s intersections with disability justice, Mad justice, and gender and queer studies? This book is a bold step toward the Mad Studies yet-to-come—a Mad Studies that Mad people will build, twisting and turning and singing and dancing, a new realm of thinking-being-doing-knowing. Step into it with us.

The Soteria model relies on personal relationships, interactive activities, and minimal use of psychiatric medication within a comfortable “living community” as opposed to a conventional psychiatric setting.

Empire of Normality
Neurodiversity and Capitalism
by Robert Chapman

This is a priority read for me!

I’m looking forward to how Chapman explains the emergence and rise of the pathology paradigm and its entanglement with the fundamental logic of capitalism. Specifically how the medical and scientific definitions of illness, disability, and normality have grown in response to economic and ideological developments.

Ok I have a question for #DisabilityMastodon about ESAs and Service Animals. What do we think about Service Animals being allowed in places but not ESAs?

I have kind of a fraught relationship with this, b/c I have an ESA. She's too nervous herself for me to want to take her places, but I can imagine having an ESA in the future who I would want to bring with me sometimes. In some instances ESAs are allowed, others not, and I kind of feel like its a little unfair for it to be such a grey area
