Understanding Mental Distress

Meer over het boek

Examining the evolving landscape of mental health services, Rich Moth's analysis draws on extensive fieldwork to highlight the effects of policy reform, marketization, and austerity within the NHS. He contextualizes these changes within neoliberal frameworks and the growing focus on individual responsibility. By centering on the lived experiences of service users and the daily practices of mental health professionals, Moth offers a compelling perspective on the understanding and management of mental distress in contemporary settings.
