The book explores the evolution of psychiatric services and policies in Malaysia, highlighting parallels with Western developments. It critically examines the gap between international discourse on service-user empowerment and its limited adoption in Malaysia, suggesting that while progress has been made, there is still significant work needed to fully integrate these concepts into the Malaysian mental health framework.
