| Zusammenfassung: | "The 1978 Italian Law 180 is probably the most radical Mental Health Act ever passed. It forbade the admission of any new patients to mental hospitals forthwith and called for their rapid closure. The law crowned the work of the charismatic Italian psychiatrist Franco Basaglia and his 'Democratic Psychiatry' movement. The Italian reforms resulted in arguably the lowest rate of psychiatric beds in any developed country and have been widely debated and emulated. They have been adopted enthusiastically by several Mediterranean and South American countries. However the implementation of Law 180 was patchy with critics both internally and internationally. This book brings together historians and clinicians, including Basaglia's colleagues and followers, for the first time." |
