Publisher's Note
This book presents a comparative analysis of mental health policy in Western Europe and North America. It also considers how and why differences have developed in the implementation of these policies. Author Simon Goodwin examines the transition from institutional to community-based models of care for people with mental health problems, identifying variations in the inception, pace, and style in which community-based service provision has emerged in different countries. Goodwin also assesses the problems and issues that have arisen as a result of the shift toward more community-based systems of care and treatment and argues that it is a policy made up of conflicting aims and purposes and that this is reflected in its implementation. Comparative Mental Health Policy is an accessible review of mental health services in different countries and will be of interest to students and academics in comparative social policy, mental health, sociology of health, and nursing studies.
