		<description><![CDATA[A Harm Minimisation Approach
edited by Margaret Hamilton, Allan Kellehear, Greg Rumbold
Oxford University Press, Australia, 1998

		<description><![CDATA[by Richard P. Bentall

Central to this book argument is Bentall’s proposal to “abandon psychiatric diagnoses altogether and instead try to explain and understand the actual experiences and behaviours of psychotic people”, that this approach will provide a richer account of aetiology than using Kraepelinian paradigm. Madness is a matter of opinion, and psychiatric problems must be approached from multiple perspectives.]]></description>
