From the Mental Patient to the Person (Hardcover, New)

If proposals for the social integration of people with mental illness are to be taken seriously, then a reshaping of society's attitudes is essential. This volume traces the experiences of a group of people, with a history of schizophrenic illness, across a number of themes which include housing, poverty, stigma, medication, psychiatric services in the community and the meaning of madness. The text aims to address in detail the contemporary debate about the community care of people who are mentally ill, and analyze the impact of current policies on the people who are their direct recipients.
