A Sand County Almanac
Controllers and controlled
This paper utilises qualitative data to examine outpatient commitment from two points of view: clinicians (the controllers) and clients (the controlled). Outpatient commitment is a legal mechanism whereby 'mentally ill' individuals are court-ordered to report to their community mental health centre for treatment. In this paper I provide the reader with an understanding of how outpatient commitment works by allowing clinicians and clients to descr…
Organizational Enactments and Conformity to Environmental Prescriptions
This paper argues that current conceptions of organizational activity as ritual conformity (or isomorphism) to institutional demands which exist in the environment must also incorporate an understanding of organizational enactment. Enactment entails a conception of the environment in terms of processes of reality construction; organizations are active in creating and defining institutional demands. Data is drawn from a study of the response of me…
The Validity of Social Control Critiques
Much controversy exists over the treatment of mental illness and many critics argue that the exercise of medical authority results in the social control of the mentally ill. This paper examines the validity of these social control critiques utilizing data collected on 115 patients court ordered to outpatient commitment and from interviews with their primary clinicians. The three expectations which guide the investigation were supported. First, cl…
Outpatient Commitment as Both Social Control and Least Restrictive Alternative
Outpatient commitment (OPC) permits compulsory outpatient treatment of the mentally ill. This study examines the wider institutional or normative purposes of OPC: greater social control of the mentally ill in the community and a less restrictive environment than inpatient commitment. OPC's ability to meet these contradictory institutional demands—social control and greater individual liberty—is explicated by the institutional theory of organizati…
Commitment of the mentally ill to outpatient treatment
Scientific advance in the socio‐cultural sciences
This essay examines and compares the Kuhnian and Weberian models of scientific advance. The comparison is based upon Kuhn's works on scientific revolution and Weber's methodological essays as well as his response to the German methodenstreit. Weber's determinant of scientific crisis is wider cultural change in values, while Kuhn's is found within the scientific community in the form on an anomaly. Although Kuhn's theory of scientific progress has…
