内容説明
The mental health services have failed to serve the growing number of people suffering from serious psychiatric disturbances, with far-reaching implications for community safety, family health, and the well-being of the mentally ill themselves. This book, by an authority in the field, describes how this happened and what to do about it. Part I examines the consequences on homelessness, jails and prisons, and episodes of violence by untreated mentally ill individuals. Part II examines the economic, ideological, and legal reasons for the failure, and suggests plans for correction.

内容説明
"Powerful. . . . The crisis [Torrey] delineates should stir any halfway sensitive human being to anger."--The New York Times Book Review
"Brilliant and remarkably detailed. . . . Dr. Torrey, our clearest and most informed voice for the mentally ill, offers his own insightful plan for a way out . . . of a healthcare scandal that remains one of America's most enduring shames."--Phil Donahue.
"If President Clinton is looking for a worthy goal to accomplish in his second term, here's one: Rescue the homeless mentally ill. It can be done. . . . Dr. E. Fuller Torrey . . . provides a five-year road map in Out of the Shadows."--New York Daily News.
"An important book . . . timely and very well written."--The New England Journal of Medicine.
"Controversial ideas, forcefully presented."--Kirkus Reviews
"Moving and vivid. . . . Torrey's powerful prescription for change challenges conventional wisdom and political correctness. His searing case examples will haunt the reader."--Laurie Flynn Executive Director National Alliance for the Mentally Ill
