Dérives

Une Histoire Sensible Des Parcours Psychiatriques En Ontario Français

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Dérives offers an glimpse into the daily lives of six individuals who struggled with severe mental illness over several years. It recounts, with great sensitivity and touching storytelling and masterful use of archival material, the setbacks and recoveries four women and two men with psychiatric conditions as an entry point into the study of Ontario's psychiatric health care system over the years. Dérives is the brainchild of two scholars. The first travelled kilometre after kilometre to interview witnesses; the second scrutinized medical records and archival patient files. Their combined approach is based on historical methods: research, interviews, and history. This eminently touching book will interest the general reader interested in mental illness, social justice, and history; as well as researchers and students in social work, nursing, medicine, history, and health policy.
