Abstract

The quest for how to deal with a crisis in a community setting, with the aim of deinstitutionalizing mental health care, and reducing hospitalization and coercion, is important. In this article, we argue that to understand how this can be done, we need to shift the attention from acute moments to daily uncertainty work conducted in community mental health teams. By drawing on an empirical ethics approach, we contrast the modes of caring of two teams in Utrecht and Trieste. Our analysis shows how temporality structures, such as watchful waiting, are important in dealing with the uncertainty of a crisis.

不确定性工作：在两个欧洲社区心理健康团队中处理精神病危机》（Dealing with a Psychiatric Crisis in Two European Community Mental Health Teams）。

如何在社区环境中处理危机，从而实现心理健康护理的非机构化，减少住院治疗和强制治疗，是一项重要的探索。在这篇文章中，我们认为要理解如何才能做到这一点，我们需要将注意力从危急时刻转移到社区心理健康团队开展的日常不确定性工作上。通过借鉴经验伦理学方法，我们对比了乌得勒支和的里雅斯特两个团队的关怀模式。我们的分析表明，在处理危机的不确定性时，时间性结构（如观察等待）是多么重要。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
