Based on an empirical examination of psychiatric care both past and present,Asylum in the Community clearly defines the concept of asylum and shows how it can be provided effectively outside the hospital. Drawing on work in the USA, Belgium, Spain, Ireland and England, contributors analyse such services from both user and provider perspectives. From these analyses the editors establish the key elements that should be considered in developing contemporary community services for the mentally ill. Asylum in the Community provides a balanced assessment of a controversial, topical issue for managers and providers of mental health services and those teaching or training in the mental health sciences.

The distinguished historian of medicine Gerald Grob analyzes the post-World War II policy shift that moved many severely mentally ill patients from large state hospitals to nursing homes, families, and subsidized hotel rooms--and also, most disastrously, to the streets. On the eve of the war, public mental hospitals were the chief element in the American mental health system. Responsible for providing both treatment and care and supported by major portions of state budgets, they employed more than two-thirds of the members of the American Psychiatric Association and cared for nearly 98 percent of all institutionalized patients. This study shows how the consensus for such a program vanished, creating social problems that tragically intensified the sometimes unavoidable devastation of mental illness. Examining changes in mental health care between 1940 and 1970, Grob shows that community psychiatric and psychological services grew rapidly, while new treatments enabled many patients to lead normal lives. Acute services for the severely ill were expanded, and public hospitals, relieved of caring for large numbers of chronic or aged patients, developed into more active treatment centers. But since the main goal of the new policies was to serve a broad population, many of the most seriously ill were set adrift without even the basic necessities of life. By revealing the sources of the euphemistically designated policy of "community care," Grob points to sorely needed alternatives. Originally published in 1991. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Issues of asylum, migration, humanitarian protection and integration/belonging are of growing interest beyond the disciplines of refugee studies, migration, and social policy. Rooted in more than two decades of scholarship, this book uses critical social theory and the participatory, biographical and arts-based methods used with asylum seekers, refugees and emerging communities to explore the dynamics of the asylum-migration-community nexus. It argues that interdisciplinary analysis is required to deal with the complexity of the issues involved and offers understanding as praxis (purposeful knowledge), drawing on innovative research that is participatory, arts-based, performative and policy-relevant.

"Europe has, during the last five years, witnessed the displacement of large groups of persons, political uncertainty, economic recession and an abrupt revival of xenophobia and nationalism. Against this backcloth western European countries have sought to review their practices and procedures with respect to the granting of asylum and refugee status - a review which without exception has led to the introduction of more restrictive measures...It is imperative that changes to existing procedures and practices and the introduction of new measures should be comprehensively articulated and should also conform to acknowledged human rights standards. Universally acceptable minimum standards must be established for handling the applications of those seeking refugee status and these standards should recognise, safeguard and guarantee the human rights of the individual concerned. This text identifies the standards it is believed should be employed to guage asylum procedures and practices." -- from the Preface.

The book is distinctive in combining theoretical discussion on the role of networks, resources and social capital with fieldwork evidence and interviews with members of RCOs, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and statutory authorities. It critically examines the impact of dispersal and current legislative change on refugee communities and RCOs; explores the integrative role of RCOs; assesses the race relations framework in Britain and its effects on refugee organisations and provides a thorough and up-to-date literature review. Refugee community organisations and dispersal is essential reading for practitioners and policy makers, academics, researchers and students of social policy, social geography, sociology and politics. Members of NGOs working with refugees or in local government, community workers and members of refugee communities themselves will also be keenly interested in the book. Comparative issues raised by the research will be of direct interest to readers in other countries.

This topical report draws on the work of Refugee and Asylum Seeker Participatory Action Research (RAPAR), a voluntary organisation which works with dispersed people in Manchester and which has succeeded in developing extensive and effective networks of refugees, asylum seeking people, service providers and policy makers. Focusing on three projects involving RAPAR: a sports group involving men who are refugees and asylum seekers from Afghanistan, Kurdistan and the Congo; a health and well-being project for Somali, Sudanese and Afghani women in Manchester; and community networks in Salford and Manchester developed through the Council for Voluntary Services; the report assesses activities that have been useful for both the participants and their communities. This book will feed into existing Home Office research on refugee integration. It reviews current literature on community cohesion for asylum seekers and refugees and highlights how non-English speakers can access local services and amenities in order to improve their chances of becoming part of established communities.Taking into account the fact that refugees seeking asylum are not homogenous in terms of language and gender, Learning to live together identifies fundamental conflicts between government policies on social cohesion and asylum and immigration. It suggests how these conflicts may be overcome and makes recommendations for getting people from diverse backgrounds to work collectively to build their communities.

Asylum to Action offers an alternative history of a libertarian therapeutic community at Paddington Day Hospital in West London in the 1970s. Helen Spandler recaptures the radical aspirations, as well as the conflicts, of the early therapeutic community movement, radical psychiatry and the patients' movement. The author's account of the formation of the Mental Patients' Union, the first politicised psychiatric survivors group in the UK, raises questions about the connections between the service user movement, therapeutic communities, critiques of psychiatry and psychoanalytic models of intervention. In particular, Spandler challenges Claire Baron's dominant account of the subject in her influential book Asylum to Anarchy. She points out that some of the key difficulties that beset Paddington Day Hospital persist in modern therapeutic community practice and, indeed, in mental health services in general. Arguing that these dilemmas require sustained attention, Asylum to Action also informs a wider analysis of the significance of social movements, social action and critical social theory.
