Publisher Description:
This book provides a sociological study by looking at the different factors that contribute to the reality of a psychiatric hospital in Peru. The author delivers his insight gained from interviews with patients and staff. In this thoughtful study, he analyzes concepts of mental illness, and the social roles that caretakers at different levels perform with each other and with the patients. Throughout the work, Stein presents his theoretical model and relates it to the research, creating a well-rounded sociological look at Peruvian psychiatric hospitals, culture, and people.
