Relocating madness

Sinopse

Partly, this is a story of dismal inadequacies in service provision, of blighted lives and mordant ironies. Yet it is also a narrative of hope, of the struggles of members of a social group to recover their dignity and be permitted to join in society. The authors stress the need for open dialogue between people with mental illness and the wider society. For this new edition they contribute an epilogue in which they expand on their discussion and take account of recent alarms and developments.
