Toxic Interactions is a review of quantitative research revealing
how urban living, trauma, ethnicity, stress and familial influence
the risk of troubling psychotic experiences. Each of these is
reviewed in search of their social implications, and a
constructivist approach identifies their common threads. The
contributions of newer psychotherapeutic approaches such as Open
Dialogue and Recovery programmes are considered, and a consistent
interpretation emerges; that is not the observable features of
disturbed mental state that deserve key attention, but how these
are generally understood by others, and in particular the
'client's' close associates. Toxic Interactions and the Social
Geography of Psychosis will be welcomed by all who find
conventional approaches to mental health difficulties
unsatisfactory, whether that is as a practitioner frustrated by the
counter-productive expectations of their institutional setting, an
academic exploring different perspectives a 'service user'
disappointed by not experiencing the care they feel is needed, or
as third party perplexed by the contradictions of contemporary
psychiatry.
