Description

This thought-provoking book examines the organization of medical and social services for people with serious psychiatric disorders.

It focuses on the current transition from hospital-centred to community-centred services. The first part of the book concentrates on the changes which have occurred in the theory and practice of key groups of professionals, including psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, occupational therapists and psychologists.

The second part describes how those changes have directly impinged on the everyday lives of people affected by psychiatric disorders.

Prior demonstrates how sociological insights can be gained from an examination of the multiple ways in which disorders have been represented in and through the work of diverse groups of psychiatric professionals.
