Meds, Money, & Manners – The Case Management of Severe Mental Illness

Autor Jerry Floersch
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 apr 2002
As case management has replaced institutional care for mental health patients in recent decades, case management theory has grown in complexity and variety of models. But how are these models translated into real experience? How do caseworkers use both textbook and practical knowledge to assist clients with managing their medication and their money? Using ethnographic and historical-sociological methods, Meds, Money, and Manners: The Case Management of Severe Mental Illness uncovers unexpected differences between written and oral accounts of case management in practice. In the process, it suggests the possibility of small acts of resistance and challenges the myth of social workers as agents of state power and social control.

Descriere

This work shows how and why case management and community support replaced psychiatry and mental hospitals. It examines everyday written and oral narratives to prove that the common critique of social workers - that they are state agents controlling clients - is untrue.
