David
Smail's website - Social Power & Psychological Distress
David Smail argues: "Hardly
any of the 'symptoms' of psychological distress may correctly be seen as
medical matters. The so-called 'neuroses', 'psychoses' and related forms
of suffering are nothing to do with faulty biology; nor indeed are they
the outcome of individual moral weakness or other personal failing. They
are the creation of the social world in which we live, and that world is
structured by power."
