Meeting for Reorganising Belgian Mental Healthcare Delivery

This communication provides in-depth analyses of five local meetings between mental health practitioners. Those meetings took place in response to a Belgian reform of mental health care delivery, from January to June 2012. Mental health practitioners intended those meeting to agree on new work procedures used in activities of promotion of mental healthcare. This communication analyses the discussions and interaction processes through which mental health practitioners finally succeeded in agreeing on new work procedures. It particularly emphasizes that those procedures resulted from the very situated and contingent assemblage of different ideas, interests, and evidence expressed by the participants.
