Description

What happens when the mad are let out of the asylum and there is nowhere for them to go? Bedlam on the Streets by Routledge provides a hard-hitting and controversial look at the reality of mental health in urban environments. This book traces the specific terms on which individuals occupy city streets, homeless shelters, shopping centers, and fast food outlets. This work offers a social geography of madness situated within the broader parameters of globalization and social welfare systems. The text argues that current community mental health care systems often function as systems of neglect rather than support. Through a richly textured ethnography, the book combines stark photographic images of people and places to provide a deep understanding of this complex social issue. It is an essential read for those studying the intersection of sociology, urban geography, and mental health care.
