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.
