From the publisher's blurb, "Not surprisingly, the policy of closing mental hospitals and relocating mental patients in the community has generated great controversy. The aim of contemporary mental health policy has been to enable people who have had a severe mental illness to lead relatively independent lives in the community, rather than be contained permanently in large mental asylums.

Despite numerous expert proclamations, rather little is known about how the beneficiaries of the new policies perceive their good fortune. This book reports on the complexities and ironies involved here, directly from the front line. The relocation of madness is explored as a process that involves the creation and negotiation of new frames of understanding, and new styles of relationship, between former mental patients and 'normal' society.Partly, this is a story of dismal inadequacies in service provision, of blighted lives and mordant ironies. Yet it is also a narrative of hope, of the struggles of members of a social group to recover their dignity and be permitted to join in society. The authors stress the need for open dialogue between people with mental illness and the wider society.
