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.
