Tóm tắt

"What is defiance, and when does defiant behavior impede one's ability to aim at flourishing? People who are defiant can present perplexing challenges, diagnostically, and responsively. But in order to understand accurately when defiant behavior is good, or bad, or neither (when it emerges out of mental illness), a fresh perspective on defiance is needed. "The Virtue of Defiance and Psychiatric Engagement' offers a nuanced and complex look at defiance, taking seriously issues of dysfunction while also attending to social contexts in which defiant behavior may arise"--Page 4 of cover.
