Mental health in the war on terror

This title finds that mental-health and biomedical professionals have created new forms of knowledge and practice in their desire to understand and fight terrorism. In the process, the state has used psychiatrists and psychologists to furnish knowledge on undesirable populations, and psychiatrists and psychologists have protected state interests. The book explores this troublesome transformation of mental-health science into a potential instrument of counterterrorism.
