The purpose of this essay is to analyze the experiences of partecipation of mental health services users and their families in providing relief and support.These welfare services are shifting into paradigm of “community care” and reshaping the role of users' and professionals' knowledges, as we can see in the case-studies observed with ethnological methods. The first part of the essay concentrates on the sociological study of mental health services and theories, using concepts taken from analysis of welfare, psychiatric epidemiology and critical political theory. The second part of the essay focuses on the ethnographic study of various cases those will show a deep contradiction between the declared “opening” of community care services to user's knowledges and the real gap of power that yet regulates the structure and the meaning of social intervention.

The purpose of this essay is to analyze the experiences of partecipation of mental health services users and their families in providing relief and support.These welfare services are shifting into paradigm of “community care” and reshaping the role of users' and professionals' knowledges, as we can see in the case-studies observed with ethnological methods. The first part of the essay concentrates on the sociological study of mental health services and theories, using concepts taken from analysis of welfare, psychiatric epidemiology and critical political theory. The second part of the essay focuses on the ethnographic study of various cases those will show a deep contradiction between the declared “opening” of community care services to user's knowledges and the real gap of power that yet regulates the structure and the meaning of social intervention. Furthermore I will analyze this process with tools from the sociology of expertise and intervention to enlight the role of “psy” knowledges in the changeover of mental health services.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
