Abstract:
This book analyses changing definitions of mental illness and the way in which they have been reflected in the organization of health care. Lindsay Prior looks at the provision of medical and social services for people with serious psychiatric disorders, and shows how this both reflects and constitutes the nature of mental illness
Abstract:
He demonstrates how sociological insights into the world of psychiatric medicine can be gained from an examination of the multiple ways in which disorders have been represented in, and through, the work of psychiatric professionals
Abstract:
Focusing on the transition from hospital- to community-centred services, the most important and far-reaching of all the organizational changes that have affected twentieth-century psychiatry, Prior outlines the rationales which lie behind this shift in emphasis, as well as other transformations in mental health service provision
