Description
Research in psychopathology and difficulties of living a normal life with psychosis can be carried out in many different ways. Psychiatry and psychiatric epidemiology have often concentrated their endeavours listing possible risk factors that may lead to a diagnostic condition. These factors may be either somatic (genetics, intrauterine factors, birth risk) or psychosocial (rearing factors, attachment and other developmental factors). Within the psychodynamic and phenomenological tradition the interest has concentrated on the first person experience of different events that these persons experienced as being traumatic. In this paper we have followed this perspective but opened it up to a wider study of how first person experience are changed during interaction with the treatment system and the social service system. In so doing we follow the principles of institutional ethnography focussing on the life-world of people as it is influenced by professional paradigms, institutional structures and the actions of others elsewhere in a larger system.| Period | 20 Aug 2011 |
