- Author:
- MURRAY Michael
- Journal article citation:
- International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, 3(3), September 2001, pp.25-32.

Discusses the concept of health and stresses the inherent value of mental health to our general well-being. Using New Labour policies to fight social exclusion as an example of government policy, and the position of people with mental health problem as a socially excluded group, it criticises the policy initiative undertaken so far as being simplistic in nature, supportive of conventional lifestyles and failing to redistribute in come. The results of such policies, it is argued, will be a continuation of social exclusion for a range of disadvantaged groups. If health for all is to be achieved, a socially inclusive society is required.

This article argues for debates about bioethics and disabled people to address and include the perspectives of psychiatric system survivors, and their concerns about psychiatry and bioethics. While genetic approaches to physical and sensory impairment can be seen to be concerned with physical and bodily conformity, genetic approaches to madness and mental distress that are gaining increasing power and official legitimacy, are also closely associated with regulating diversity, divergence and dissent in thinking and perceptions.
