Publisher's Synopsis

Admission to psychiatric hospital is the end-result of a complicated social process. This book unravels the social influences, medical contingencies and decision-making which determine outcome. The process is described in terms of the individual, the family and professionals who act as decision-makers. A unified model of psychiatric hospitalisation is proposed.
