What went wrong with the process of deinstitutionalization?
On Jun 18, 2024
Deinstitutionalization was the closing of large asylums. Those who were released from institutions were supposed to go to newly created centers, but the system was not set up effectively. Centers were underfunded; staff was not trained to handle severe illnesses, such as schizophrenia; there was high staff burnout; and no provision was made for the other services people needed, such as housing, food, and job training. Without these supports, those who were released under deinstitutionalization often ended up homeless.
