Topics in mental health and general health care.

I am reading about research and development strategies for mental health treatments in the UK. I am also reading a book about ethics in mental health care and also a book on ethics in general health care. I am also reading a book about risk taking in health and social welfare. I am also reading a book about health statistics. This is called educational therapy. This is where one learns about one's condition. Also reviewing the basics on this schizophrenia.com site is something I do from time to time. Then I hit the books on advanced topics. I have also read the DMS IV an older version all the way through in the very early 1990's. I have also in the past read some advanced pharmacological sciences.

I also talked to a former orderly yesterday at the union conference. We talked about One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and his experiences with labotomies in the 1970s. We were talking on the theme of oppression in hospitals.
