Download or read book Meds, Money, and Manners written by Jerry Floersch and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Floersch shows how and why case management and community support services replaced psychiatry and mental hospitals. The case manager's use of textbook and practical knowledge allows for the management of medication, money, and day-to-day life of adults with severe mental illnesses. Yet, Floersch asks, are social workers state agents controlling clients? This critical study examines everyday written and oral narratives to prove that this common critique is untrue.
