Living with Mental Illness

چکیده
by Morris Carstairs. Woutledge & Kegan Paul, 28s.) In 1956 and 1957 from one London Borough one hundred and twenty inhabits were admitted to a Surrey mental hospital. Eighty-nine of these were traced, ar,d of the eighty-six who were interviewed, the basis for this book was formed. Despite an occasional awkwardness. Miss Mills presents in an eminently ^adable way the attitude of a group of ex-patients to one another, to their relal0ns, to their illnesses and to their hospital. She describes, in a good general account of the so-called "Community" services, their trials and their individual LXP.eriences after discharge. Unfortunately, the book has faults which makes one es'tate to recommend it to students, interesting as it is for the serious general reader.
