The industrial revolution was relocating their workplaces from hearth to hades: a shift from homeworking into the dark satanic mills of William Blake. Far from being valorised as heroes, the Luddites have suffered abjectly under the ‘enormous condescension of posterity’ (Thompson, <span>1963</span>: 12). They are remembered, if at all, as hopeless vandals, with the term Luddism now reserved for unthinking or irrational opposition to technological advancement. To some extent this is surprising, as there cannot be many human beings who have not experienced a detrimental psychological impact from lacking control over their jobs. Indeed, the history of work under capitalism is arguably a history of the alienation of workers. The application of technologies to the work process is undisputedly a major aspect of this alienation, regardless of perceived benefits associated with new technologies.</p><p>The sociologist Harry Braverman (<span>1974</span>) notably pointed out the ways mechanisation of the labour process degrades the experience of work. This analysis has been applied to nursing work, where routinisation and task focused care can mimic the deleterious impact of production line technologies (McKeown, <span>1995</span>). In this sense, mental health nursing is an occupation that is as much subject to the vagaries and vicissitudes of how work is owned, controlled and organised as any other job. Despite professional rhetoric and exhortations, nurses are workers who neither completely control their work, the products of their work, nor the context in which they work. The substantial gap between an aspiration for a respected, professionally agentic role and the reality of prevailing, alienated impediments to fully-fledged autonomy is apparent wherever we care to look for it. That said, the alienation of nurses is relatively minor compared with the often-crushing alienation of patients within increasingly restrictive and coercive contemporary services. To rehash Erich Fromm's (<span>1968</span>) observation, psychiatric care might be best thought of as alienated people, being cared for by alienated practitioners, using alienated and alienating technologies. One optimistic insight that can be gleaned from such a negative situation, is that staff and patients may have a common interest in defeating alienation and taking a critical or resistive stance towards potentially oppressive technologies.</p><p>Right now, and increasingly for the future, the introduction of novel technologies into mental health care systems raise some pressing concerns for nurses and patients.
