Discourse and Mental Health – Voice, Inequality and Resistance in Medical Settings (2019) Juan Eduardo Bonnin

Description

This book analyzes diversity and inequality in access to mental healthcare in a public hospital setting in Buenos Aires through the discourse practices, tactics, and strategies deployed by patients. It argues for a critical, situated perspective on discourse analysis oriented to social change and proposes a different approach to doctor-patient communication that takes into account cultural, social, and economic diversity.
