Process Press Ltd

Process Press is very pleased to announce a new edition of this classic book. This new edition features a preface by veteran mental health survivor, trainer, campaigner and poet Peter Campbell and an extensive prologue by Peter Barham.

In this acclaimed book, first published almost thirty years ago, Peter Barham examines the changing fortunes of mental patients in the era of the asylum and in its aftermath. He demonstrates powerfully that the closure of mental hospitals cannot meet the real needs of people with severe mental health problems without a profound rethinking of the role, rights and status of the former mental patient in society.
