"Anstalt og menneske" må betragtes som et af hovedværkerne indenfor sociologisk forskning i livet i lukkede samfund, som vi kender det fra for eksempel fængsler, kaserner, plejehjem, kostskoler og klostre. Bogen skildrer, hvad disse institutioner "får ud af" klienterne, og hvad klienterne "får ud af" tilværelsen inden for murene – på godt og ondt, og måske navnlig det sidste … Opmærksomheden rettes i særlig grad mod statshospitalet med udgangspunkt i forfatterens studier i marken gennem 1 år som medarbejder ved et stort amerikansk statshospital. Erwing Goffman præsenterer den hovedtese, at den mest betydningsfulde faktor i den sindslidende patients udvikling under opholdet ikke så meget er hans sygdom, men selve institutionen og alt, hvad den indebærer. "Anstalt og menneske" har derfor bud til enhver, som er beskæftiget – eller anbragt – i disse institutioner, samt til alle, der ønsker at vide besked med en af vort samfunds skyggesider.Bogen blev voldsomt populær da den udkom i 1961 og udgjorde især en lammende kritik af den etablerede psykiatri. Goffmans årelange feltarbejde viser hvordan den psykiatriske patient i højere grad dannes af institutionens krav om tilpasning end af den psykiske lidelse. Livet bag murene styres af ritualer, som sikrer at både personale og indlagte institutionaliseres og udfylder deres roller. Bogen medvirkede til en række forandringer på de amerikanske statshospitaler. Den har været genoptrykt og brugt i undervisning siden den udkom. I Danmark udkom den trykte bog i 14. oplag i 2022.Erving Goffman er international anerkendt for og har udgivet flere bøger. Goffman er født i 1922 i Canada og er uddannet i Chicago som Doktor Phil i 1945. Han er også ophavsmand til tidsskriftsartikler og bøger som bl.a. "The Presentation of a self in everyday life", "Encounters", Stigma" m. flere.
