Sammanfattning
The introduction of therapeutic community and milieu therapy challenged the relationship
between psychiatric staff and patients. A new staff role based on establishing better relations
between the personnel and patients shaped unclear expectations and challenges in the psychiatric
system. Interviews with former psychiatric staff show certain problems, such as insecurity,
resistance and conflicts. Democratizing the hospital society by flattering the hierarchical pyramid of
authority to promote interaction between patients, staff and doctors failed. The legitimacy of the
specialists seemed to be strengthened by the development of diagnostic culture.
