Abstract

In the view of many contemporary academics, researchers, and some consumer groups, mental health professionals in acute settings are not providing consumer-focused care; not fulfilling professional requirements and not using designated psychological therapies; and social control is their primary 'modus operandi' if not 'raison d'etre'4. (A non-representative shortlist includes the following authors.6-9). Rather than accepting claims that overtly, or tacitly, blame those working in these settings, we base this chapter around an outline of the findings of a recent ethnographic study of such nurses in such an acute setting.
