ABSTRACT

I am particularly interested in Durkheim s theories about totemism, as developed in his work on classification with Marcel Mauss, and [whole page on theories of totemism].

My MPhil topic is a study of psychiatric nurses’ leisure activities with particular reference to their use of TV, radio, newspapers, magazines and other media, and their attitudes to the images of psychiatric disorder in the mass media, [two pages of relevant literature about mass media].
