Sociology in the context of social psychiatry

B Cooper. Acta Psychiatr Scand Suppl. 1994.

Abstract

The author addresses various aspects of the interface between sociology and social psychiatry, among them the labelling process related to mental deviance, problems related to diagnosis and social ethology. The need for interdisciplinary work is emphasized, not least in the context of prevention. It is underlined that effective preventive measures can precede the full causal elucidation of a disease.
