Abstract
This chapter analyses the production of knowledge in mental health care networks during a policy process that took place in Belgium between 2007 and 2010.By drawing on a case study of the horizontal pilot ‘Adults: General Psychiatry’ (AGP) – the discussion of different local pilots in adult general psychiatry – this chapter sets out to investigate empirically: how practitioners embodied knowledge of the new practices; how they came to enact that knowledge in the course of cross-project discussions; and how they coped with its inscription in a proposal for structural reform. At the same time, by also drawing on Actor-Network Theory (ANT) and the sociology of translation (Callon, 1999; Latour, 2007; Freeman, 2009), the discussion shows how ANT and the phenomenology of embodied, inscribed and enacted knowledge complement each another
