Week 2: Current Conceptualizations of Mental Health Flashcards

1
Q

What happened in the 1960s (the beginning of dissent)?

A

A time of growing dissatisfaction with traditional mental health approaches and a desire for more patient-centered and less coercive models of care.

A significant shift in the conceptualization of mental health and psychiatric care in the 1960s. This shift was largely influenced by societal and cultural factors, particularly the critique of traditional mental health institutions.

A rare convergence of left and right-wing support for asylum closure.
