Reviews

In this interesting new book, Dobransky carefully explores the often contradictory institutional logics of community-based psychiatric care and offers fresh insights on how these competing views shape our fragmented system of community mental healthcare. --Eric R. Wright professor of sociology and public health, Georgia State University (10/25/2013)


Provides important insights into the challenges workers and clients face in the mental health care system. Sociologists and mental health care professionals, including policy makers, will find Dobransky's work of particular interest.


Dobransky's willingness to question the currently received wisdom about the value of currently popular service approaches and his use of a rich dataset both attest to the book's potential. --Russell K. Schutt University of Massachusetts Boston (11/12/2013)
