Description

Book Synopsis
This book follows the treatment of a mentally disabled person from an institutional perspective, in which a unit is presented as an objectified subject of other people's actions, revealing a situation of isolation and personal dependence, and from a personnel perspective, as they respect the autonomy and self-determination of their charges. The text highlights how to create, maintain, and reconstruct social order within a nursing home and achieve internal balance and stabilization within a care institution.

Trade Review
An impressive empirical study that significantly contributes to comprehending mental disability and institutional forms of helping the mentally disabled. Niedbalski presents a highly realistic description, free from political correctness, of the pros and cons of working with stigmatized people. -- Elzebieta Zakrzewska-Manterys, University of Warsaw
