Industry Reviews Echoes the familiar cry that closing mental hospitals and caring for the mentally handicapped in the community is still not working in Britain after 30 years, but then goes on to analyze the evolution of the approach, showing how incoherence was implicit in the origins and formation of the policy, and why it continues to be the central policy of state mental health services despite its obvious failure. Focuses on two key periods, 1948-63, and 1975-90. No index. Acidic paper. Sloppily bound. Distributed in the US by Ashgate. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. SciTech Book News
