Louise Blais Salud Canada social sciences Social movements mental health policy psychiatric desinstitutionalization In highly technocratic and professionalized societies, health policy and practices are driven by the widespread belief that "experts know best". This is especially the case of dominant contemporary psychiatry whose obsession for scientific legitimacy and "objectivity" is the obverse of the lack of credibility and human agency attributed to those on the receiving end of psychiatric services. This article examines how social movement theory can give depth and meaning to the collective actions of men and women with a psychiatric history and living in the context of de-institutionalization; how, also, it can help us understand the role of these actions in the "therapeutic process" as well as their creative potential in formulating "bottom-up" mental health policy and practices - a potential far from being adequately tapped, as this case-study of a Canadian experience attempts to show. 2002 artículo científico 1405-7980 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=14240202 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=142 Investigación en Salud application/pdf Universidad de Guadalajara Investigación en Salud (México) Num.2 Vol.IV |
