"The end of the 20th century will, amongst other things, be known for the excessive use of euphemisms... 'Patients' suddenly became 'clients'... 'Social workers' have now become 'case managers'. An awe-inspiring title, but what does it mean?"
Jerzy Krainski has seen the changes first-hand. In the caring profession since 1963, he has worked with hundreds of patients and witnessed the birth of Social Services in Britain. The move from housing patients in asylums to hospitals had huge and sometimes surprising effects on the country. 'Them Mentals and Me' relates anecdotes about workers, community members, deprived families and patients, including people with mental illnesses and disabilities.
Sometimes moving, sometimes funny, it is above all a grass-roots snapshot of an important shift in 20th century Britain.
