Totally irrelevant to me as I feel is 99/9%of what MH services provide.That's not my name!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17064348309163649672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8436306896448667918.post-17313471369474535492008-11-19T13:20:00.000+00:002008-11-19T13:20:00.000+00:00Glad this piece highlighted the increasing gulf be...Glad this piece highlighted the increasing gulf between the funding available for lab research in MH and the lack of money for treatment and care on the wards and in the community.<BR/><BR/>The South London and Maudsley Foundation Trust in South London (SLAM) operates in this way . Look at this professional looking video SLAM created to <A HREF="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=-XxXIZ9M-fA" REL="nofollow">to champion its research labs and scientific prowess on Youtube</A> as it modernised away local services , including respite care and South London's only 24 emergency clinic.<BR/><BR/>Pay attention to Dr Eleanor Cole's statement in the opening minute or so and watch on as the heroic case for services based on 21st century science is made by invisibilising and dispensing with any real thought about patients as conscious human beings interacting with their environment . <BR/><BR/>One has to ask who this video was made for because it certainly does nothing to adress stigma or re-introduce compassion to the treatment and care of people with mental health problems. In fact SLAM's video reminds me of ' Triumph of the Will' Leni Riefenstahl's heroic propaganda film for the Nazi Party.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
