This book analyzes how hearing participants construct and organize arguments that are legally, psychiatrically, and practically accountable. It argues that commitment decisions orient to the "tenability" of situations that patients pose as alternatives to hospitalization.
Industry Reviews
-James Houlstein's Court-Ordered Insanity updates... popular, but antiquated, pictures of the social response to mental illness through a theoretical sophisticated and empirically engaging approach.... The book could serve as a text for sociology of mental illness or deviance courses and as a fine case study using an ehtnomethodological approach for courses in contemporary sociological theory.-
