Collaborative Ethnographic Working in Mental Health seeks to chart
a new direction for research into mental healthcare, with the aim
of creating the conditions for more productive interdisciplinary
dialogue. People involved in mental health often fail to recognise
how they are described by researchers from the humanities and
social sciences, which inhibits productive collaboration. This book
seeks to address this problem, by including clinicians and patients
in the research process and by shifting attention away from power
and knowledge and towards the organisational context. It explores
how clinical thinking and behaviour, illness experience, and
clinical relationships are all shaped by the bureaucratic context.
In particular, it examines tensions between what we want from
mental healthcare and how accountable bureaucracies actually work,
and proposes that mental healthcare research should not just
evaluate new interventions but should investigate new ways of
organising. This book is written with a non-specialist audience in
mind, as it is intended for all with a stake in mental healthcare
research and practice. It is also for those with an interest in
ethnographic methods, as a novel way of deploying ethnography,
autoethnography and coproduced ethnography to address clinically
important research topics.
