Prospects for change in public mental institutions

Prospects for change in public mental institutions

C I Cohen. Int J Soc Psychiatry. 1978 Winter.

Abstract

Because of the incompatibility of variables (viz. actors, milieu concept, institution, society) with each other as well as the potential areas of strain contained within each variable, it is improbable that state mental institutions can adapt a patient-centered (therapeutic) milieu. Evidence is presented in order to substantiate this hypothesis.
