Description: This chapter explores a number of issues arising out of the intersection of three broad sets of concerns within the mental health area; the adoption of deinstitutionalisation and community care as the officially sanctioned options for providing mental health services; and official concerns regarding the citizenship and human rights of the mentally ill.
