Literary research has become a key resource for the advancement of medical and allied health professionals' education, affording broader perspectives, critical thinking skills and promoting an emotionally receptive or empathic climate for clinical practice. Such initiatives have included a specific focus on mental health and literature. However, there is yet to be developed a cohesive and sustainable movement away from the Medical Humanities towards a more inclusive and less medically-dominated Health Humanities. With this project, we are seeking to form new methodologies, strengthen and maintain partnerships and enable inclusive critical dialogues across this field. UK and US literature offers many valuable and sometimes contrasting insights into experiences of mental illness, attitudes towards individuals deemed mentally ill, their treatment and the social networks and institutions within which such experiences unfold. The term 'madness' has been employed deliberately here to signal this project's alignment with literary and historical scholarship rather than a necessarily narrower clinical focus, as would be implied by terms such as 'mental disorder'. To date there is little comprehensive and sustained collaborative working between US and UK scholars on representations of madness in literature. The proposed Madness and Literature Network (MLN) will stimulate cooperation between US and UK researchers and creative writers, to advance and sustain these approaches within health organizations and educational settings. It will also promote a health humanities approach, encourage co-operation and exchange of ideas between disciplines and sectors, and uncover new methodological challenges beyond the academy, seeking confluence and an applicable legacy. Both the US and the UK are beginning to engage with a health humanities discourse. A Public Lecture Series hosted by the University of Durham that attracted eminent speakers such as Roy Porter and Pat Barker was subsequently published as a collection of essays by Palgrave, demonstrating the growing interest in this diverse area. At Nottingham University's School of Nursing, the biggest in the UK, mental health students are exposed to student directed learning in fiction about mental illness. In the USA, the development of university-led websites such as Medical Humanities at New York University's School of Medicine have contributed to medical humanities syllabi and foregrounded the work of eminent scholars in this field. Several journals are published with a detailed focus on the health humanities - these will be crucial in forming a published record of research conducted through the MLN. What is lacking is a cohesive and shared communication between the US and the UK. The MLN will change this. Crawford is well placed to lead this network in keeping with AHRC international strategy and by being firmly rooted in the arts and humanities disciplines. His work is deeply embedded in literary and linguistic disciplines which is an imperative for an emergent field of research which aims to reinforce the place of the humanities in what has been traditionally the domain of medical science. He has worked in mental healthcare since 1986 and has conducted both literary and linguistic research relevant to healthcare over the last 12 years, holding grants from The British Academy, ESRC and The Leverhulme Trust. He is co-founder and chair of the interdisciplinary Health Language Research Group (HLRG) at Nottingham University, one of whose key academic partners is the School of English, which is world-renowned for its research in both language and literature and where the lead PI is co-situated. The project builds on the acclaimed critical scholarship of its academic contributors,a current project with The Leverhulme Trust on the representation of madness in post-war UK and US Fiction, and also offers development opportunities for Charley Baker, a Research Associate who is completing a PhD.

文学研究已经成为促进医学和相关卫生专业人员教育的关键资源，提供了更广泛的视角、批判性思维技能，并促进了临床实践的情感接受或同理心氛围。这些举措包括对心理健康和文学的特别关注。然而，从医学人文科学走向更具包容性和更少由医学主导的健康人文科学，尚未形成一种具有凝聚力和可持续性的运动。通过这个项目，我们正在寻求形成新的方法，加强和保持伙伴关系，并在这一领域实现包容性的批判性对话。英国和美国的文学作品提供了许多关于精神疾病经历、对被视为精神病患者的态度、他们的治疗以及在其中展开此类经历的社会网络和机构的宝贵见解，有时甚至截然不同。这里特意使用了“疯狂”一词，以表明这一项目与文学和历史学术相一致，而不是像“精神障碍”这样的术语所暗示的那样，必然是更狭隘的临床重点。到目前为止，美国和英国学者之间几乎没有就文学中的疯狂表现进行全面和持续的合作。拟议中的疯狂与文学网络(MLN)将促进美国和英国研究人员和创意作家之间的合作，以在卫生组织和教育机构内推动和维持这些方法。它还将促进卫生人文方法，鼓励学科和部门之间的合作和思想交流，并揭示学院以外的新方法挑战，寻求融合和适用的遗产。美国和英国都开始参与健康人文科学的讨论。达勒姆大学主办的一系列公开演讲吸引了罗伊·波特和帕特·巴克等著名演讲者，随后作为帕尔格雷夫的散文集出版，显示出人们对这一多样化领域日益增长的兴趣。在英国最大的诺丁汉大学护理学院，心理健康专业的学生可以通过学生指导的方式学习有关精神疾病的小说。在美国，由大学主导的网站的发展，如纽约大学医学院医学人文学科的发展，为医学人文课程做出了贡献，并突出了该领域知名学者的工作。出版了几种期刊，详细介绍了卫生人文学科--这些期刊将对形成通过千年发展目标开展的研究的已发表记录至关重要。美国和英国之间缺乏的是一种凝聚力和共享的沟通。军情六处将会改变这一点。克劳福德非常适合领导这个网络，与AHRC的国际战略保持一致，并牢牢植根于艺术和人文学科。他的工作深深植根于文学和语言学科，这是一个新兴研究领域的当务之急，旨在加强人文科学在传统医学领域中的地位。自1986年以来，他一直从事精神卫生保健工作，并在过去12年中进行了与卫生保健相关的文学和语言研究，持有英国学院、ESRC和Leverhulme Trust的赠款。他是诺丁汉大学跨学科健康语言研究小组(HLRG)的联合创始人和主席，该小组的主要学术合作伙伴之一是英语学院，该学院以语言和文学研究而闻名世界，首席PI也位于该学院。该项目建立在其学术贡献者广受好评的批判性学术研究基础上，这是目前与勒弗胡姆信托基金合作的一个项目，内容是战后英美小说中疯狂的表现，也为即将完成博士学位的研究助理查理·贝克提供了发展机会。
