Funded Activity Summary

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