First published in 1997, this work makes a substantial
reexamination of the social processes behind the labelling of
patients in hospital care. Taking an interpretive perspective, the
author analyzes the social construction of patient labels
identifying strategies for and the consequences of giving and
receipt of 'good' and 'bad' labels. He shows how the rich data of
truly participant observation in the tradition of reflexive
ethnography can powerfully illuminate the experiences and actions
of both patients and their nurses. It is a critical analysis of key
work in this field. Professor Johnson demonstrates the redundancy
of trait theories of social judgment, offering a more complex and
negotiated reality in which patient labels form a part of a rich
web of unequal power relations between nurses and their clients.
