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.

This book provides an overview of a diverse array of preventive
strategies relating to mental illness, and identifies their
achievements and shortcomings. The chapters in this collection
illustrate how researchers, clinicians and policy makers drew
inspiration from divergent fields of knowledge and practice: from
eugenics, genetics and medication to mental hygiene, child
guidance, social welfare, public health and education; from risk
management to radical and social psychiatry, architectural design
and environmental psychology. It highlights the shifting patterns
of biological, social and psychodynamic models, while adopting a
gender perspective and considering professional developments as
well as changing social and legal contexts, including
deinstitutionalisation and social movements. Through vigorous
research, the contributors demonstrate that preventive approaches
to mental health have a long history, and point to the conclusion
that it might well be possible to learn from such historical
attempts. The book also explores which of these approaches are
worth considering in future and which are best confined to the
past. Within this context, the book aims at stoking and informing
debate and conversation about how to prevent mental illness and
improve mental health in the years to come. Chapters 3, 10, and 12
