Abstract

In Chapter 6, we saw localised enactments of implementing change from different parts of Omega mental health services. In Chapter 7, episodes were constructed from the participants’ accounts of implementing the community mental health teams. In both of these we heard many different versions and different meanings of change implementation and through the analysis a strong theme of virtue conflict enactment and their social constructions of reform. But what about other narratives that are not emplotted and enacted as stories or that do not form a serial of change? This chapter brings together fragments of narrative that speak in different ways of change under a set of themes. According to Czarniawska (1997: 79) themes are ‘sure to be found in large complex organisations of many kinds’.
