Breaking Points explores the stories of a diverse group of American young adults experiencing psychiatric hospitalization for psychotic symptoms for the first time and documents how patients and their families make decisions about treatment after their release. Approximately half of young people refuse mental-health care after their initial hospitalization even though we know that better outcomes depend on early support for youth and families. In attempting to determine why this is the case, Neely Laurenzo Myers identifies what matters most to young people in crisis, passionately arguing that health care providers must attend not only to the medical and material dimensions of care but also to a patient's moral agency.Ethnographic studies in subjectivityPsychosesTreatmentUnited StatesYoung adultsMental health servicesUnited StatesYoung adultsMental healthUnited StatesSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / GeneralbisacshPsychosesTreatmentYoung adultsMental health servicesYoung adultsMental healthSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / General.616.8900835SOC002000MED043000bisacshMyers Neely Laurenzo1979-1646831MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910886333003321Breaking Points4214582UNINA
