Description

The social landscape for understanding and responding to mental illness has changed within a relatively short period of time. This special issue of Health Sociology Review offers timely analyses of the social and consumer implications from the closure of large psychiatric asylums across Australia.In their own ways and collectively, the changes resulting from activism, sociological critique, legislation, neo-liberal philosophies, elevation of the role of family, the privatisation of psychiatry, increasing and contested psychiatric diagnoses, and pharmacological ascendancy, have re-shaped the social situation for individuals ('consumers') with mental illness.Contributors to the issue provide an historical overview of Australian asylums. They consider the implications of current arrangements for the care and re-habilitation of afflicted individuals within the community and families, the citizenship of the mentally ill, the bureaucratic framing of emergency psychiatric care, and the experiential worlds of caregivers and patients, such as:Deinstitutionalisation of stigma: the caregivers' perspective The voices of carers of persons with a mental illness From incarceration to deinstitutionalization: the construction of a new social landscape for sociological research From therapy to administration: deinstitutionalisation and the ascendancy of psychiatric 'risk thinking' Deinstitutionalisation: an unrealised desire Neo-liberalism, community care and Australian mental health policy Mental health reform, citizenship and human rights in Australia, the UK, Italy and Brasil Overall, the issue re-vitalises sociological research on the problem of mental illness at broad, societal levels and within the realms of local and personal experience and their policy sequelae.This special issue of Health Sociology Review has also been released as a course reader (ISBN 0-9757422-1-3) for 2006/07 course adoptions.
