Recently the British government has issued a Draft Mental Health Bill, which offers a definition of mental disorder. The authors analyse this definition in logical and empirical terms. It is also contrasted with previous struggles in the professional literature to provide a cogent and credible definition of mental disorder. Socio-historical forces are described relevant to this current lack of clarity and credibility. They argue that all efforts to date to define mental disorder have been flawed on a number of counts. The concept of mental disorder is of dubious scientific validity but it has a substantial political utility for several social groups who are sane by mutual agreement.
