The Liberia Project
Prefatory note: One of the joys of working in human rights is the courage you take from your colleagues along the way. The teachers and students of Chautauqua Lake Central School taught me more about teaching across the curriculum and the power of vision than any group with whom I have worked. Like Eleanor Roosevelt, they believed that rights could not be separated from responsibilities and that “without concerted citizen action,” human rights wo…

The Prescription of Discretionary Antipsychotic Medication by State Mental Hospital Psychiatrists
Despite the predominance of drug treatment within psychiatry and public policy debates surrounding psychotropic drug use, American medical sociology has largely neglected the study of psychiatrists' medication prescribing practices. The present study examines the influence of patient clinical and social characteristics, as well as physician and treatment-setting factors, on the prescription of PRN (as needed) antipsychotic drugs by a sample of ps…

The Mentally Ill in Contemporary Society
Factors Associated With Antipsychotic Drug Prescribing by Southern Psychiatrists
The relative influence of physician, patient, and treatment setting characteristics on antipsychotic drug prescribing are examined using survey data collected in 1979 employing a sample of 61 North Carolina psychiatrists and 1003 of their patients. Antipsychotic drug prescribing is conceptualized as a three-stage, sequential decision-making process, beginning with the clinician's decision to prescribe any psychopharmaceutical, moving on to the de…
Critical Psychiatry
From the Preface to the second impression: The reissue of this book, 24 years after its first publication, is a very welcome initiative by Free Association Books. When Critical Psychiatry saw the light of day, the debate over psychiatry which had raged in the 1960's and 1970's was well past its peak: sales of the book were modest and the publishers soon allowed it to fall out of print, although well-thumbed copies continued to circulate in limite…

Political Alienation and Public Satisfaction with Police Services
Policemen and policewomen are the most visible and obtrusive agents of governmental authority and power to the average citizen. This being the case, what the public think about police and their work is highly important—and may well serve as a significant social indicator of the political health of the society as a whole. Using telephone survey data gathered in the St. Louis SMSA during the Summer of 1977 as part of a major study of police service…
Labeling Theory and Community Care of the Mentally Ill in California
The practical merit of a labeling theory approach to mental illness is examined and assessed through an exploration of its application in terms of public policy, i.e., community mental health policy in the state of California since 1968. Primary focus is placed on the impact of the deinstitutionalization of mental health services in that state, and the release of former mental patients into the community. Similarities in the fundamental ideologic…
