In this groundbreaking study based on five years of in-depth
ethnographic and interdisciplinary research, Troubled in the Land
of Enchantment explores the well-being of adolescents hospitalized
for psychiatric care in New Mexico. Anthropologists Janis H.
Jenkins and Thomas J. Csordas present a gripping picture of psychic
distress, familial turmoil, and treatment under the regime of
managed care that dominates the mental health care system.
 The authors make the case for the centrality of struggle in
the lives of youth across an array of extraordinary conditions,
characterized by personal anguish and structural violence. Critical
to the analysis is the cultural phenomenology of existence
disclosed through shifting narrative accounts by youth and their
families as they grapple with psychiatric diagnosis, poverty,
misogyny, and stigma in their trajectories through multiple forms
of harm and sites of care. Jenkins and Csordas
compellingly direct our attention to the conjunction of lived
experience, institutional power, and the very possibility of having
a life.
