ROWE, MICHAEL / LAWLESS, ARTHA / THOMPSON, KENNETH / DAVIDSON, LARRY, ed. . Classics of community psychiatry: fifty years of public mental health outside the hospital. Oxford ; New York: Oxford University Press, 2011, 1st printing number line ending in 1, xxiii, 624pp., . Classics of Community Psychiatry: Fifty Years of Public Mental Health Outside the Hospital is the first volume to extract from the vast literature a set of classic accounts that have, variously defined, interpreted, and challenged professional and popular understanding of community mental health through the years. This soon-to-be-classic text covers everything from deinstitutionalization through the community mental health center era as well as the community support program and the present day era. Additionally, the book covers current thought on evidence-based practices, changes in funding for mental health care, and recovery., The forty-five "classics" contained in this volume range from ethnographic accounts of life in mental institutions to novel excerpts and economic analyses, to government reports, and more. Each classic article has contributed, in its own way, and is relevant to an understanding of the end of nearly two centuries of reliance on institutional responses that further resulted in the segregation of people with mental illnesses apart and away from others, whether in almshouses or state mental hospitals. Furthermore, these texts are critical to gaining a broad understanding of our current approach to relying on responses that brought people back into their home communities to receive treatment and other needed care and be members of those communities., Each contributor has challenged or supported the criteria used to diagnose mental illness, either implicitly or explicitly in terms of what "community psychiatry," or community mental health, is, can, or should be. Unique to this edited volume is the extensive use of editorial text to introduce readers to three "eras" of community psychiatry, with informed speculations about its future, from psychiatrists, researchers, persons in recovery, novelists, and government employees.
