An ethnography of coercion: Capturing the figurative dynamics of patient-professional relationships

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingArticle in proceedingsResearchpeer-review

Abstract

This paper presents an excerpt from an ongoing PhD project which is employing process- and relational theory and ethnographic fieldwork to explore coercion in psychiatry as a historically situated phenomenon emerging through institutionalized practices. By arguing for how coercion may be related to societal and historical aspects of the psychiatric practice, the PhD will contribute with valuable insights to scientific as well as practice-oriented discussions, which can benefit the patients and professionals in the psychiatric practice by pushing to academia and policy.
