The Sociology of Mental Health

Books in this set consider the implications for society, and how society should respond to mental health issues. This comprehensive set covers not only the history of mental health care and institutions, but also the development of psychiatric social work and mental health policy. 'Mental Health and Social Policy, 1945-1959' and 'Psychiatric Social Work in Great Britain (1939-1962)' remain important texts for anyone involved in mental health research.
