Psychiatric expansionism and social control: the intersection of community care and state policy
Article Abstract:
The subsidization of community-based treatment in psychiatric practice is increasingly becoming a welfare policy tool designed to appease and pacify potentially volatile citizens while supporting the private sector. The effect of the development of community psychiatry and the causal effect of theoretical and practical psychiatric diagnosis on the size of in-patient and out-patient psychiatric populations are investigated.
