Professor Halliwell breaks new ground in understanding the place, politics, and trajectory of mental health from the moon landing to the millennium --University of Leicester Press Office In this gracefully argued, erudite study, Martin Halliwell places the complex issue of mental health at the centre of the history of the decades since Jimmy Carter's Commission on Mental Health in 1977. It is a model of interdisciplinary scholarship, equally at home with federal public health policy and the cultural politics of identity and community. --Jonathan Bell Professor of American History, University College London Topics include the voices of patients and former patients in survivor narratives, and through advocacy and support groups. --Chronicle Voices of Mental Health is a terrific contribution to the areas of contemporary American literature and culture, federal policy studies, and literature and medicine. Halliwell provides an impressive, vast amount of research. --Jacqueline Foertsch author of Reckoning Day: Race, Place, and the Atom Bomb in Postwar America
