The development of Australian community psychiatry

这个项目旨在通过考虑更广泛的社会、文化和政治背景来分析澳大利亚精神病学的最新发展。20世纪70年代，主要以精神病院护理为基础的澳大利亚精神病学受到心理学家、对开发替代治疗方法感兴趣的精神病学家以及更广泛的社会运动的持续批评。这个项目将调查精神病学家、心理学家和其他精神健康专业人员如何致力于改变精神病院护理，并发展社区精神病学，以提供替代方案。该项目将考察澳大利亚社区精神病学先驱的倡议及其与更广泛的非制度化运动的关系。该项目还将分析由此产生的研究和实践方面的变化。

This project aims to analyse recent developments in Australian psychiatry by considering their broader social, cultural, and political contexts. In the 1970s, Australian psychiatry, primarily based in mental hospital care, came under sustained critique by psychologists, psychiatrists interested in developing alternative treatment methods, and broader social movements. This project will investigate how psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals aimed to change mental hospital care and develop community psychiatry to provide alternatives. The project will examine the initiatives of the pioneers in Australian community psychiatry and its relationship to the broader deinstitutionalisation movement. The project will also analyse the resulting changes in research and practice.
