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

该项目旨在表明，在去机构化时代之前，机构后护理是精神健康历史的核心。它希望开辟新天地，审查1900年至1960年精神病院的出院模式，并将这些模式与在这些机构关闭之前为离开澳大利亚医院的人发展精神保健护理服务联系起来。该项目的计划成果包括一本单独撰写的专著和合编的书籍，一篇更高学位的研究论文，以及公众参与。通过将机构出院过程与更广泛的社区与后来的机构后护理模式联系起来，这将带来显著的好处。

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.
