A deep dive into the strange science of the 'Normal', and the roots of an anxiety-ridden modern obsession

Before the nineteenth century, the term normal was rarely ever associated with human behaviour. Normal was a term used in maths, for right angles. People weren't normal; triangles were.

But from the 1830s, this branch of science really took off across Europe and North America, with a proliferation of IQ tests, sex studies, a census of hallucinations - even a UK beauty map (which concluded the women in Aberdeen were "the most repellent"). This book tells the surprising history how the very notion of the normal came about, how it shaped us all, often while entrenching oppressive values.

Sarah Chaney looks at why we're still asking the internet: Do I have a normal body? Is my sex life normal? Are my kids normal? And along the way, she challenges why we ever thought it might be a desirable thing to be.©2022 Sarah Chaney Anthropology History & Commentary Medicine & Health Care Industry Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Social Psychology & Interactions Sociology Akıl Sağlığı Sağlık

A historic and anthropological account of what ‘normal’ is and isn’t and might be … well researched, balanced, and great contextualising introduction.

Actually, very good

I was attracted to this book by the title
And I hoped to find some gems in terms of what is or is regarded as normal
Unfortunately, I found the book bogged down in historical detail , turgid and difficult to follow
It was not an easy listen
An interesting subject
Treated in far too complicated a manner for us normal people

Not for normal people
