Synopsis

Reflections on the Challenges of Psychiatry in the UK and Beyond is a personal journey through British psychiatry, the National Health Service and academic life for more than forty years. It describes personal experience as perceived by a postgraduate student, practicing clinician, teacher, trainer, researcher and health service manager.

This book presents a panoramic view of some of the most significant milestones of modern psychiatry. The process of developing mental health services including those for people with intellectual disabilities through a maze of policies, sometimes contradictory, but also with strong ideological, sociological and political encounters proved to be a key challenge. The author examines the complex connections of these processes and gives a comprehensive picture of the mental health map across four decades. Successes and disappointments are featured throughout through memories, archives and personal statements.
