It does so not merely because research on this topic is all too rare, but because the in-depth qualitative nature of the study has generated new and provocative ideas about the nature of mental health work about the nature of mental health organizations... The study also has implications beyond the field of mental health, because it underscores the added value of research questions that consider the cultural, social, professional, and organizational contexts that shape all health and social service delivery.- --Elizabeth Durkin, Qualitative Social Work -A well-researched and compelling look at ourselves and the arc of our profession.
