Mental Health Policy in Britain Summary

Mental Health Policy in Britain by Anne Rogers

The second edition of this acclaimed book offers a critical analysis of the transition from institutional to community care for people with mental health problems. Despite the almost complete abandonment of the old Victorian asylum system, the powerful cultural legacy of segregation remains potent in modern thought
Rogers and Pilgrim analyse the impact of new policies introduced by the Labour government since it came to power in 1997, identifying both the processes and causes of policy change and assessing its value in the context of longer term debates about madness and distress.

It is well written and easy to read. It is recommended for those looking for a modern introductory text.' - Community Care 'an important contribution to the current literature about mental health policy' - British Journal of Social Work
