Psychiatric ideologies and institutions

Abstract: The authors of this volume point out that what is ordinarily termed the psychiatric hospital's "social structure" is principally derived from three sources: the number and kinds of professionals who work there; the treatment ideologies and professional identities of these professionals; and the relationships of the institution and its professionals to outside communities, both professional and lay. They describe hospitals as sites where ideological battles characterizing the mental health arena are being fought, implemented, critiqued, modified, and transformed. This classic monograph in medical sociology was originally published in the 1960s. The period studied was 1958 through 1963, when somatic and psychotherapeutic ideologies were flourishing-as now-and milieutherapy was just emerging. The research team was multidisciplinary: three sociologists, one psychologist, and one psychiatrist. Three distinct psychiatric environments were researched: two at the Chicago State Hospital-"chronic services" and "treatment services"-and one at a private hospital. What evolved were thoughtful comparative analyses of hospitals, wards, professionals, ideological positions, careers, and organizational and situational placements.

„Forschung ist harte Arbeit, es ist immer ein Stück Leiden damit verbunden. Deshalb muss es auf der anderen Seite Spaß machen“

Abstract: Zum Interview: Nach Heiners erster Begegnung mit Anselm Strauss im Sommer 1990 hatten wir im Mai 1994 wahrend eines Forschungsaufenthalts in Berkeley Gelegenheit zu ausfuhrlichen Gesprachen mit Anselm. Wir erlebten ihn als Lehrer in seinem Seminar und in der Forschungssupervision, und wir besuchten ihn und seine Frau Fran in ihrem Haus am Moore Place.
