Sylvia Mignon: When Your Expertise Can't Save Your Child

Well, I grew up in a dysfunctional home. I chose a career of social work to try and help other people, and I was unable to help my father, who was a chronic alcoholic.

And I've always appreciated the power of extending a hand to someone in need to see the severity of mental illness, to see the severity of substance abuse among people. And I also had the experience of living for a year in Mexico and seeing extreme poverty there when I was 15. So I enjoy teaching college courses in prisons, some of the most capable students I've ever had.

So we have stigma among the general public, and we have stigma among those psychiatrists and others who purport to want to help the severely mentally ill. We've created bureaucracies that do not work on behalf of clients and families. The bureaucracies we create are designed to work for those who work within those systems.

As a professor of criminal justice, I can easily attest to how the criminal justice system worked on behalf of judges, attorneys, probation officers.

I hark back to the work of a sociologist, Max Weber. who did a lot of work on bureaucracy.
