Psychology/Psychiatry enthusiasts: How do you feel about 'Mad Studies'?

I’ve enrolled into a course called “Women & Madness” (currently in my third year of a psychology honours BA). My first reading is about Mad Studies and it is an article called “Introducing Mad Studies” by Robert Menzies, Brenda A. LeFrançois, and Geoffrey Reaume (it can be found on academia.edu and probably Google Scholar). Just curious to hear people’s perspectives on anti-psychiatry and mad studies, especially those coming from a psychology background. I’m not sure how I feel about this assemblage so far…
