Inspirado em uma fábula contada por Franco Basaglia, assim como em seu pensamento e ações, este trabalho introduz a discussão sobre o paradigma que instituiu a doença mental no campo dos saberes psiquiátricos e o asilo como o lugar da verdade médica sobre a loucura. Escrito em linguagem e estilo claros e acessíveis, o livro desenvolve-se em torno de algumas reflexões que têm como objetivo demarcar um campo epistemológico para a reforma psiquiátrica, no contexto teórico do debate contemporâneo dos saberes e das ciências.

The building history of the Munich clinic substantiates the developments in psychiatry during the past 100 years; but sole illustration of the constructional aspects would be dull and impersonal. The development of a clinic could be understood as a life story, in which not only the building and organisation structure itself, but also the patientes treated in the clinic and the people working there should be taken into consideration: Doctors from the Munich clinic have always enhanced the development of clinical psychiatry and psychiatric science decisiveley. As such, the names of Emil Kraepelin and Alois Alzheimer are known to all psychiatrists all over the world nowadays - even to those, who do not realize that the scientific work of these names are closely linked to the Munich clinic.

This edited volume explores the field of community mental health from the perspective of community psychology. The focus of the book is on the transformation of the field of mental health from professional practice rooted in a biomedical model to a new approach based on community psychology values and the principles of ecology, collaboration, empowerment, and social justice. The book is divided into several sections: theoretical perspectives, consumer participation, practice, community inclusion, social conditions, and social policy.

In Canada, at least 5 percent of the population suffers from a serious, persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. While recent years have seen many changes and improvements in the way we respond to the needs of mentally ill persons, there remain divisions of opinion among stakeholder groups about the way mental health services are delivered. Community Mental Health in Canada offers a timely, critical overview of the provision of public mental health services in Canada, looking at where we have come from, the current situation, and where we may be heading. Concise, yet comprehensive, coverage includes: - the prevalence and impact of mental illness in Canada - the complementary and conflicting interests of stakeholder groups, such as mental health professionals, clients, families, government, and drug companies - current and developing initiatives in treatment, rehabilitation, housing, and criminal justice programs - the clinical benefits and costs of particular interventions, among them pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioural treatments - the recovery model - diversity and cultural competence - the legal and ethical basis of mental health practice, particularly as it applies to the use of coercion and involuntary treatment Community Mental Health in Canada fills a gap in the literature in its analysis of both clinical mental health practice as well as the structural context within which it is situated. An indispensable resource for students, practitioners, and policymakers, it also is essential reading for all those interested in how services are provided to our most vulnerable citizens.
