The World Health Organization' s post-World War II work on the epidemiology and classification of mental disorders and its vision of a "world psyche. "In 1946, the World Health Organization undertook a project in social psychiatry that aimed to discover the epidemiology and classification of mental disorders. In Mad by the Millions, Harry Y-Jui Wu examines the WHO' s ambitious project, arguing that it was shaped by the postwar faith in technology and expertise and the universalizing vision of a "world psyche. " Wu shows that the WHO' s idealized scientific internationalism laid the foundations of today' s highly highly metricalized global mental health system.
Harry Yi-Jui Wu is Assistant Professor and Director of Medical Ethics and Humanities Unit, LKS Faculty of Medicine, the University of Hong Kong.
