Breve descrizione dei contenuti:
This chapter presents a model of intervention that is the rule of law in Italy, where public interdisciplinary mental health teams, consumers’ families, other health and social bodies, and voluntary and consumers’ organizations cooperate to sustain a stable-over-time, mixed formal and informal network for the care of the mentally ill, including the severest cases, in the community.Th is model was made possible by, in essence, a radical revolution in the whole national health system, which defi nitively phased out all state mental hospitals and replaced them with a community-based system of care.
