Education Mental Health & Social Control

This book is the third in a series, each covering three subjects: mental health, education, and social control. The impetus for this series has been the recommendation of President George W. Bush's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health. The problem with this legislation is its sweeping nature. Among its Purposes is to increase fund for, and expand the scope of, the Safe Schools-Healthy Students program in order to provide access to more comprehensive school-based mental health services. The danger with measures such as these involves how mental health joined with education can be used as a means of social control. This book, like the previous two, looks at issues like these and others concerning mental health, education, and the power elite's increasing social control over our lives.
