This book offers original knowledge, debate, and understanding from
frontline fieldwork data and the relations between mental health
difficulties, mental healthcare provision, and social theory.
Dominant discourse of the last half century has followed a medical
perspective. This has marginalised contributions from social
science. Furthermore purely medical approaches to mental healthcare
have profound shortcomings. Thus, this book draws upon innovative
research findings to rejuvenate the relationship between psychiatry
and social science. It frames this by reference to certain
inevitable and uncertain elements of mental health which
characterise this field. Over nine chapters the volume is a unique
contribution to several intersecting areas of intellectual
enterprise, research, and learning - as well as a source of insight
into how mental health practice and policy might be modified and
improved. As a result, it appeals to a wide range of audiences
including social scientists, mental health practitioners, mental
health researchers, social theorists, mental health service users,
and policy-makers.
