The book relates the history of post-war psychiatry, focusing on deinstitutionalisation, namely the shift from asylum to community in the second part of the twentieth century. After the Second World War, psychiatry and mental health care were reshaped by deinstitutionalisation. But what exactly was involved in this process? What were the origins of deinstitutionalisation and what did it mean to those who experienced it? What were the ramifications, both positive and negative, of such a fundamental shift in psychiatric care? Post-War Psychiatry in the Western World: Deinstitutionalisation and After seeks to answer these questions by exploring this momentous change in mental health care from 1945 to the present in a wide range of geographical settings. The book articulates a nuanced account of the history of deinstitutionalisation, highlighting the constraints and inconsistencies inherent in treating the mentally ill outside of the asylum, while seeking to inform current debates about how to help the most vulnerable members of society.

One of the most significant medical and social initiatives of the twentieth century was the demolition of the traditional state hospitals that housed most of the mentally ill, and the placement of the patients out into the community. The causes of this deinstitutionalization included both idealism and legal pressures, newly effective medications, the establishment of nursing and group homes, the woeful inadequacy of the aging giant hospitals, and an attitudinal change that emphasized environmental and social factors, not organic ones, as primarily responsible for mental illness. Though closing the asylums promised more freedom for many, encouraged community acceptance and enhanced outpatient opportunities, there were unintended consequences: increased homelessness, significant prison incarcerations of the mentally ill, inadequate community support or governmental funding. This book is written from the point of view of an academic neurologist who has served 60 years as an employee or consultant in typical state mental institutions in North Carolina and Ohio.

The study seeks to examine New York State's use of co-optation as a strategy for achieving its mental health policy goals. These policy goals included the closing of the State psychiatric hospitals, and attempts at helping those discharged to maintain themselves in the community while living successful, or normalized lives. A historical research methodology is employed. The sources of the data were documents from organizations, groups and individuals as well as verbal testimony from individuals who had an interest in the outcomes of mental health policy. The study additionally utilizes a method of content analysis examining the audio taped testimony of key leaders, past and present in the field of mental health.;The research questions were: Why has New York State's key mental health policy goals of closing the psychiatric hospitals, as well as helping patients maintain themselves in and normalize in the community, been only partially achieved? What policy strategy, if implemented, could have been more effective in the downsizing of psychiatric hospitals as well maintaining and normalizing patients in the community? New York State has been engaged in the process of lowering the number of in-patients in the psychiatric hospitals and assisting these people to live in the community since 1955. The researcher examines New York State's use of co-optation to achieve its policy goals. An attempt was made to demonstrate that despite the support, the policy of deinstitutionalization received, from professionals, organizations and politicians, at each step of the deinstitutionalization process, the policy could not be implemented until key stakeholders in the outcomes of New York State mental health policy were co-opted. The researcher attempted to show from testimony that conflicting parochial interest of the key stakeholder groups has slowed down the implementation of the policy of deinstitutionalization and that the state with its own interests has chosen to accept implementation of deinstitutionalization at that pace.

Both the scope and effects of deinstitutionalization have been dramatic. This volume examines both positive and negative effects of this mass movement of persons with severe mental illness out of the state hospitals and into the community. The chapters address the following issues: the use of community alternatives to state hospitalization; the very large numbers of persons with severe mental illness who have found their way into the criminal justice system, why this has happened, and what to do about it; the community treatment of mentally ill offenders; how to prevent inappropriate entry of mentally ill persons into the criminal justice system; the value of mental health consultation in courtroom settings; the therapeutic use of mental health conservatorship; and finally, psychiatric rehabilitation. Although deinstitutionalization for the most part can result in a much richer life experience in the community, much more needs to be done to make that occur. This is the 90th issue of the Jossey-Bass series New Directions for Mental Health Services.
