Abstract
This epilogue reviews the papers presented in this volume, drawing out the main themes and placing them in the context of the issues identified in the Not for Service report published by the Mental Health Council of Australia and the Brain and Mind Research Institute (2005). It uses the analogy of the cakewalk to describe the progress of mental health reform and the way in which progressive policies have been undermined over the reform period. It identifies the neoliberal policy context, inadequate resourcing and workplace issues as critical contributors to this process. It concludes with an analysis of some of the key areas in which a sociological perspective can make a major contribution.
