She also presents several usually unsuccessful attempts to innovate the mental health care, includig the care for clients wit an migration background. Do not disturb ends with a decription of the developments in the regional mental health care around the Bijlmer airplane crash of October 4 1992. The book is interlaced with examples from the daily practice, quotes by professionals, passages from the world literature and eighty cartoons. The cartoons were created by the author on the request of a management consultant as an intervention to bring about organizational changes.
