Pavilion Publishing and Media Ltd Reflections on the Challenges of Psychiatry in the UK and Beyond: A Psychiatrist's Chronicle from Deinstitutionalisation to Community Care
Reflections on the Challenges of Psychiatry in the UK and Beyond is a personal journey though British psychiatry, the NHS and academic life for over 40 years. It describes personal experience as perceived by a postgraduate student, practicing clinician, teacher, trainer, researcher and health service manager.This book presents a personal historical chronicle and a panoramic view of some of the most significant milestones of modern psychiatry. The process of developing mental health services including those for people with intellectual disabilities through a maze of policies, sometimes contradictory, but also with strong ideological, sociological and political encounters proved to be a foremost challenge. The author examines the complex connections of these processes and he succeeds in giving a comprehensive picture of the mental health map in over four decades. Successes and disappointments are featured throughout Reflections on the Challenges of Psychiatry in the UK and Beyond through memories, archives and personal statements. Reflections on the Challenges of Psychiatry in the UK and Beyond will be of interest to all mental health professionals, all other health practitioners, policy makers, commissioners and managers as well to lay people. This book can be used in courses for psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, therapists, health and social policy.
