Hi,
I was wondering whether anyone knew of any critical and
community psychology articles focusing on the issues of lean
management systems in mental health care? In the trust where I
work, we were told to treat "patients like cars" as this
management theory stems from Toyota production systems.
Adherents and promotors of this ideology can be rather
messianic, and it is being rolled out massively in many trusts.
I would love to read stuff on the impact on staff and their well
being and the impact on how service users and their problems are
constructed and responded to. Much has been written about from a
critical and community perspective on the negative impact of
psychiatric and individualist psychological perspectives on
people labelled as having mental health problems, but I am
struck by what appears to be a lack of commentary from such a
perspective on such a huge and significant ideology which is
coming to dominate much of mental health services.
I am really looking forward to people's thoughts, as I feel
very much on my own with these concerns

Dear All,
Some of you might be interested to know that I've
written a critical psychology book which has just been
published.
If you'd like to find out more, then you can get
details from the website of the publisher, Pluto Press, by
