Summary : Psychiatric care cannot simply be reduced to a set of rational actions. It is based above all on the representation that mental health professionals form of the person seeking help and the ideology of a particular care centre. The concept of social representations can help us to understand the mechanisms involved in this process of representation. Ethics obliges us to give consideration to this element so as to bring it more under our control. |
Keywords : psychiatric care, ethics, social representations, subject, institution. |
