Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to illustrate the use of Conversation Analysis for understanding the relational nature of what is conventionally called ‘madness/mental illness’. It begins with a brief presentation of Labelling Theory, a sociological approach based on the analysis of social reactions to normative deviations. The section introduces the psycho-sociological concepts that are relevant to the process of identification of a particular deviance as ‘mental illness’ and its normalisation, stabilisation, and/or amplification with focus on the interactions within the family and psychiatry services.
