From psychiatric patient to citizen

"This book argues that, were it not for deep-seated prejudice and social exclusion, people diagnosed as mentally ill could be full citizens, actively participating in society as workers, parents and community members. In a cogent analysis of social attitudes, cultural representations and the legal and policy framework, it identifies the theoretical approaches and practical tasks necessary to effect positive change."--BOOK JACKET.
