In this paper 1 discuss the question of how we should understand the concept of social movements, particularly as applied to health related movements. My argument is that movements should be understood as field of contention. This concept, as I develop it, emphasizes two key aspects of social movement mobilization. Firstly, departing from traditional models of movements, which tend to view them as unified things, it draws our attention to the numerous groups and agents who interact within the internal space of a movement and to the relations, alliances and conflicts between those various groups / agents as they unfold through time. Secondly it draws our attention to the embedding of social movement struggle but each of which makes different demands upon activitist if struggle is to prove effective. The model of fields of contention is explored within the paper using empirical data on a variety of social movement organizations (SMOs) which heve formed around the mental health system in the UK over the last forty years.
