Description
What is the appropriate role of state hospitals? Some argue that
there is no legitimate role for them, that they are obsolete,
inhumane, and a drain on mental health resources. Others hold that
the complete elimination of state hospitals would constitute
abandonment of people in great need, people who cannot get the
services they require elsewhere. This volume of New Directions for
Mental Health Services examines the role of state hospitals from a
number of perspectives, addressing issues of clinical technology as
well as policy. From this examination emerges a view of the state
hospital of the future, a model that integrates the key
technological and economic considerations and social values
expected to determine the future of state hospitals.
This is the 84th issue of the quarterly journal New
Directions for Mental Health Services.
