Life outside institutions: histories of mental health aftercare 1900 - 1960

该项目旨在表明，机构后护理是去机构化时代之前心理健康历史的核心。它希望通过研究1900年至1960年精神病院的出院模式来开拓新的领域，将这些模式与澳大利亚在这些机构关闭之前离开医院的人的精神健康善后服务的发展联系起来。该项目的计划成果包括一个单独撰写的专著和共同编辑的书，更高学位的研究论文，和公众参与。这将通过将机构出院过程与更广泛的社区联系起来，并与机构出院后的护理模式联系起来，带来巨大的好处。

This project aims to show that post-institutional care is central to the history of mental health before the era of deinstitutionalisation. It expects to break new ground by examining patterns of discharge from psychiatric institutions from 1900 to 1960, linking these with the development of mental health aftercare services for people leaving hospitals in Australia before these institutions closed. Planned outcomes of this project include a sole-authored monograph and co-edited book, a higher degree research thesis, and public engagement. This should provide significant benefits by connecting processes of institutional discharge to the wider community with later patterns of post-institutional care.
