Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is a study of the closure of psychiatric hospitals and the impact of that on the lives of long-stay patients. The book concludes that closure policies can be successful, but that this requires learning, sensitive planning and design of alternative services. The study argues that institutionalization is not contained within the walls of the building, but that there is a need to reform structures and relationships involved in the services providing care and control for patients.
