Rather than individualising mental health, Conor Heaney takes seriously the notion of a shared mental environment and the importance of theorising everyday life in our endeavours to grasp and transform our everyday experience. Drawing particularly on the work of F lix Guattari, Gilles Deleuze, Bernard Stiegler, and Henri Lefebvre, Heaney develops the idea of rhythmanalysis as an original and interdisciplinary approach to the politics of mental health. He offers both a renewed methodological and philosophical approach to rhythmanalysis (scraping) and deploys it with respect to the relationship between contemporary capitalism and mental health.

Industry Reviews
Heaney's book is innovative, timely, interdisciplinary, and thorough. It is grounded in the most prominent French thinkers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, but carries their analyses into the contemporary milieu of late capitalism. It is a work of staggering originality, extensively researched and meticulously argued. It will likely stand as a lasting intervention into the uncircumventable crises of mental health in the frenetic morass of global capital.--Vernon Cisney, Gettysburg College
