  • Summary

    This chapter begins with vigilante activists who have strained to introduce therapeutic dimensions to traditional psychiatric treatment. The case studies include torture victims at Bellevue Hospital, who have sought asylum in the US after enduring political atrocities in their homeland; homeless persons being sheltered and made capable of securing independent housing; and children in a therapeutic nursery whose abuse at the hands of their carers points to the depredations of slavery and racism.
