Abstract

The post-World War II international mental health movement placed significant emphasis on the concept of the 'social environment', a true paradigm shift in thinking about the causes of mental illness. Rather than focusing on individual risk factors, experts and policy-makers began to consider the interplay between social context and mental health and illness. Also, during this period, quantification gained prominence within the expanding field of Western psychiatry. Eventually, the concept of the 'social' became fragmented into quantifiable social determinants that could be correlated with mental illness and subjected to systematic neutralization. This trajectory paved the way for the prevailing biomedical psychiatric epidemiology. This broader inquiry challenges us to redefine our understanding of the 'social' in the context of mental health research and practice.

精神病学和心理健康中的 "社会":国际科学网络中的量化、精神疾病和社会(1920-1950 年代)。
二战后的国际精神卫生运动十分重视 "社会环境 "的概念,这是精神疾病病因思维范式 的真正转变。专家和政策制定者开始考虑社会环境与精神健康和精神疾病之间的相互影响,而不是把重点放在个人风险因素上。此外,在这一时期,量化在不断扩展的西方精神病学领域中占据了重要地位。最终,"社会 "的概念变得支离破碎,变成了可以量化的、与精神疾病相关联的社会决定因素,并对其进行系统的中和。这一轨迹为当前流行的生物医学精神病流行病学铺平了道路。这项更广泛的调查挑战我们在心理健康研究和实践中重新定义对 "社会 "的理解。
