A challenging, provocative and very useful analysis of mental health and mental illness that no practitioner or researcher will want to miss, which should provoke many interesting debates and clarifications. His thinking is broad, deep, and unconventional, and I believe, very useful. Paul Ekman

A challenging, provocative and very useful analysis of mental health and mental illness that no practitioner or researcher will want to miss, which should provoke many interesting debates and clarifications. His thinking is broad, deep, unconventional, ans I believe, very useful. Paul Ekman of The Paul Ekman Group, USA, Editor of What the Face Reveals, Second Edition (OUP, 2005) and author of The Nature of Emotion (OUP, 1995) A scholarly and highly informative account of the ubiquity and fragility of psychiatric diagnostic. What is especially appealing is that Madness Cracked doesn't take the well-worn route of rejecting classification, but instead, harnesses the best of cognitive and emotion science to show how the enterprise can be effectively reclaimed. Zindel Segal, Dinstinguished Professor of Mood Disorders, University of Toronto, Scarborough, Canada Entertaining but informative, thought-provoking yet measured. In Madness Cracked Mich Power takes us on a journey that manages to bring together in a new way the biologicalm psychological and societal influences on how we should think about madness. Andrew MacLeod, Professor of Clinical Psychology, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

Andrew MacLeod, Professor of Clinical Psychology, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK Psychiatric diagnostic categories are the bane of the clinical psychologists life... Madness Cracked is another attempt to make a case for an alternative diagnostic system, one that Mick Power calls the SPAARS model (schematic, propositional, analogical, and associative representational systems). Henderikus J. Stam, Professor in the theory program, in the Department of Psychology, University of Calgary, in PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61, No. 2, January 2016
