The number of people in institutions for the intellectually disabled in Britain,
Scandinavia and the USA has fallen markedly over the last 25 years. Deinstitutionalization
and Community Living reviews the changes that have taken place, identifies the lessons
that have been learned and highlights the issues that remain to be addressed. This will be
an essential text and a valuable work of reference for professionals, managers, students,
teachers and researchers in psychology, psychiatry, social work, social and public policy
and nursing.
