Throughout the 1960's and 1970's, a revolution in mental health
policy and practice known as deinstitutionalization occurred in
Europe and the US. This movement was catalyzed by criticisms of
psychiatric institutions and resulted in the release of thousands
of people with serious mental illness from long-term care
facilities into the community. It is acknowledged that these
reforms held great promise, but have had numerous unintended
negative consequences. Moreover, deinstitutionalization has
strained the resources and reach of community-based mental health
treatment systems, spilling into other institutions such as
criminal justice and education. Volume 17 of Advances in Medical
Sociology will examine deinstitutionalization's legacies
approximately 50 years after reintegration began, turning a
critical lens toward contemporary problems and solutions related to
mental illness in countries where reform occurred. This volume will
highlight pressing issues around mental health treatment, social
and health policy, and the lived experiences of people and families
coping with mental illness that were or continue to be
significantly influenced by deinstitutionalization reforms.
