Communication The Social Matrix of Psychiatry

The integration of psychiatry into the mainstream of American society following World War II involved rethinking and revision of psychiatric theories. While in the past, theories of personality had been concerned with the single individual, this pioneering volume argues that such theories are of little use. Instead, the individual must be seen in the context of social situations in which rapid advances in communication technology have brought people closer together, changing their behavior and self-expression.Ruesch, Jurgen is the author of 'Communication The Social Matrix of Psychiatry', published 2007 under ISBN 9781412806145 and ISBN 1412806143.
