The Myth of the Well-Known Client.

Abstract:

:A common idiomatic phrase in mental health care is "well known" client, patient, or service user. This phrase is often followed by "to mental health services" or some such, suggesting that a "service" can really know anything. Notwithstanding mental health services, especially public ones are a repository for a lot of information, such as facts about people, their service use, diagnosis, notes and assessments of various kinds; this conglomeration of information is not knowing, any more than a library may be "knowing". Knowing is a distinctly human activity. This paper will argue that this phrase is arrogant, a signifier of ignorance and ought to be relegated to history or back room banter with phrases like "frequent flyer", "bed seeker" and other derogatory and objectifying language.
