Join Callum and Craig this week for the continuation of our 'Asylums' episode.  In this episode, we take a look at the importance of person centered care within the mental health profession as the other side of the asylums of the past.  Now, treatment and care is so much better - although some would argue there's more work to do - there definitely is.  A short episode, giving you a whistle stop tour of the what's what and how partially the past can still, on some level, affect the practices of today.
