The Psychiatric Team and the Social Definition of Schizophrenia: An Anthropological Study of Person and Illness (Studies in Social and Community Psychiatry) Book

This book is a study of schizophrenia in a modern psychiatric hospital, arising from an anthropological investigation of the work of clinical staff.Analyzing the language used by hospital staff in writing and talking about their patients, it traces the evolution of the concept of schizophrenia, showing how contemporary theoretical constructs are applied by clinical staff. It will reveal to mental health professionals many of the unspoken assumptions of their role, and confirms the power of the ethnographic approach in psychiatric research.Read More
