Introduction: Friendly ears -- Islamophobia and the problem of Muslim thought -- Politics and psychology : the only revolution is within -- The politics of Muslim mental health : legitimacy through suffering -- Security and extremism : securing the Muslim mind -- Neoliberalism and austerity : bolstering the Muslim mind -- Conclusion: The decolonial somewhere between justice and peace.
"Mental 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."--Back cover.
