“Paul Brodwin’s rich and historically sensitive ethnographic account, Everyday Ethics: Voices from the Front Line of Community Psychiatry, is a highly accessible introduction to the ethical dilemmas of Assertive Community Treatment (ACT). While clearly demonstrating the system’s flaws, this dynamic and well-researched work avoids the common tendency to villainize, lionize, or otherwise simplify its professionals, allowing their ethical quandaries to become our own.” E.
