Opis

First published in 1978, with the reform of the 1959 Mental Health Act under consideration, it was time to re-examine the policy of desegregating the mentally ill and treating them within general hospital psychiatric units rather than in mental hospitals. In this study, however, the authors question much of British psychiatric practice at the time.
