OverviewIn Crip Screens, Olivia Banner provides a wide-ranging and ongoing history of Black, feminist-of-color, and crip resistance to psychiatry’s incorporation of hegemonic media technologies into treatment and research. Banner shows how institutions use documentary films, data visualization, network graphs, therapy chatbots, virtual patient training programs, and pharmaceutical advertising to pathologize certain people as “deviant” and “mentally ill.” Those people so categorized have used media technologies toward alternative visions of care. Examining insurgent media and technology efforts in the 1960s and 1970s, Banner shows how women and communities of color worked to wrest away from psychiatry its hold over representing mental distress and pathological categorization. These efforts and innovations, she argues, were distinct from what is now accepted as the antipsychiatry movement. In so doing, Banner recovers a lost history of disability politics - what she calls crip screens - that refused psychiatry’s use of cultural productions toward its carceral and subjugating designs.

This definitive book will remain deeply important to the continued conversations around computer power, mediated medicine, and daily life within surveillance capitalism.""--Hannah Zeavin, author of ""The Distance Cure: A History of Teletherapy"" Author InformationOlivia Banner is Director of Strategy and Operations at the Center for Research and Education on Accessible Technology and Experiences at the University of Washington and author of Communicative Biocapitalism: The Voice of the Patient in Digital Health and the Health Humanities.
