With a unique look at the growing dehumanisation of Muslims across the Global North, the author provides a contemporary overview of how psychology and mental health ultimately services to produce and manage low-risk and productive citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eMental health is positioned as the cure-all for society’s discontents, from pandemics to terrorism. But psychology and psychiatry are not apolitical, and neither are Muslims. This book unpacks where the politics of the psy-disciplines and the politics of Muslims overlaps, demonstrating how psychological theories and practices serve State interests and perpetuate inequality—especially racism and Islamophobia. Viewing the psy-disciplines from the margins, this book illustrates how these necessarily serve the State in the production of loyal, low-risk and productive citizens, offering a modern discussion of three paradigms underlying the psy-disciplines: neoliberalism, security and the politics of mental health.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTarek Younis is Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Middlesex University. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56451538977142,"sku":"9781529790184","price":16.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_29002007.jpg?v=1760462909","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781529790184-the-muslim-state-and-mind","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
