If society is coinceived as an armonious whole, a whole in which prevails integration because behaviour is conducted by related and coherent norms, and exclusión of mentally ill persons means that they do not follow institutional norms, then the only problem would be that they are out of norms and a simple solution is that they be inn. Social relations are better conceptualized in terms of agreements and oppositions of clashing interests, agreement does not consist only in follow norms. In order that the excluded person be included is needed to solve these opposing interests like (among others):
- Family searchs security and usually are overprotective wich oppose to take the risks that means to engage in a good job, giving responsabilty to the person. What means in this context to follow norms?
- Because of stigma and preduijes employers may not hire the mentally ill person that hipothetically may cause problems in the organization.
- “Adapt the person to the organization in which he/her works” may have very positional damage to the person when the social climate is very competitive, and leaves him/her in a very subordinated position in this competition.
- Neihgborhood predujices through an enviroment created by gossip may make unrealistic demands to the person.
There are many other forms in which the social context put obstacles to social inclusion which must be developed in terms of personal accomplishment. We invite sociologists to explore the many ways that social and therapy contexts limits social inclusion.
