Summary
In this BMJ opinion piece, Iona Heath reviews a new book by Penelope Campling, who worked as an NHS psychiatrist and psychotherapist for 40 years. Don't Turn Away tells the story of "an increasingly brutal turning away from the most abused and damaged people who struggle to survive within our complacent society." The article argues that over the past few decades, our society has failed to listen to and support the most vulnerable people, with mental health systems focusing on exclusion criteria and keeping people out of the system.
