| Description |
This article explores the social model in relation to ‘mental health’ policy and practice generally and social work specifically. It highlights the continuing dominance of bio-medical approaches to and interpretations of ‘mental health’; examines the development and nature of mainstream social approaches and considers mental health service users’ own discussions of a social model of madness and distress. The article looks at the ramifications for social work which is based on a social model of madness and distress; what it might look like and what infrastructural supports it is likely to require to develop effectively.
