Wiesböck explores the extent to which the destigmatization of psychiatric diagnoses simultaneously contributes to their popularization. The sociologist raises the central question of what social circumstances and actors facilitate the shift of emotional balance and functionality becoming increasingly framed as matters of health or illness. "Psychiatric diagnoses can be seen as an official recognition of suffering and inefficiency, in a society geared towards visible productivity that otherwise allows hardly any room for it", says the author. The book has been extensively reviewed internationally (e.g. Spiegel, Deutschlandfunk Kultur, WOZ) and will be presented at the Leipzig Book Fair, among other venues.
