An Empirical Ethics Approach to Acute Psychiatric Care: Advancing ?Situated Suggestions? . 330 $aThe book presents the results of an ethnographic study examining the post-deinstitutionalized organization and provision of acute mental health care in Italy. While the achievements of the ?Basaglia law? which imposed the closure of psychiatric hospitals in Italy in 1978 have been well-documented, this book sheds fresh light on its aftermath and possible continuing influence. The author examines two Italian regions ? Piedmont and Friuli Venezia Giulia (internationally known to be the first Italian region to close down asylums) ? respectively as representatives of the ?restraint? and ?no-restraint? models. Within each context, participant observation and discursive interviews have been conducted in Mental Health Centres (CSM) and acute psychiatric wards (SPDC) to explore care and coercive practices, as well as notions of ?good care? and values embedded in everyday working activities of these services. Situated suggestions for possible improvement of today?s acute mental health care are also proposed. This book offers a novel ethnography of mental health care in the Italian context that will appeal in particular to practitioners and scholars in the fields of critical mental health, cross-cultural psychology, the history of psychiatry and the sociology of health. Eleonora Rossero is a researcher in the field of the sociology of health, particularlymental health, as she works closely with healthcare services and professionals. Dr Rossero has published previously on the impact of Covid-19 on Italian mental health services, narratives of autoimmune diseases, psychiatric coercive interventions, and Italian de-institutionalization practices and cultures. 606 $aMental illness 606 $aPsychology, Pathological 606 $aMental health 606 $aSocial psychiatry 606 $aEthnology 606 $aMental Disorder 606 $aPsychopathology 606 $aMental Health 606 $aClinical Social Work 606 $aEthnography 606 $aEtnografia$2thub 606 $aAssistència psiquiàtrica$2thub 606 $aSalut mental$2thub 607 $aItàlia$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aMental illness. 615 0$aPsychology, Pathological. 615 0$aMental health. 615 0$aSocial psychiatry. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 14$aMental Disorder. 615 24$aPsychopathology. 615 24$aMental Health. 615 24$aClinical Social Work. 615 24$aEthnography. 615 7$aEtnografia 615 7$aAssistència psiquiàtrica 615 7$aSalut mental 676 $a362.20945 700 $aRossero$b Eleonora$01426861 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910743700403321 996 $aCare in a Time of Crisis$93559212 997 $aUNINA
