Finally back in print! Mandatory reading for anyone who asks why thousands of individuals who clearly suffer from brain disease go without care. The Treatment Advocacy Center is proud to republish this book so that this valuable tool for reform continues to remain available to them and to all who ask "How can we stop this neglect?"

Even ten years after it was written, no other book documents the origins and failure of deinstitutionalization of people with severe mental illness so well. I only wish that the authors would update the book for the new decade.

I am so disappointed that this book is out of print! I have been recommending it to everyone including political leaders. This book explains so well why our mental health system is failing! From the ACLU who allow our loved ones to "die with their rights on" to the anti-psychiatry movement who deny that mental illness exist.The authors have uncovered the web of a failed system which advocates need to have as a resource. This book needs to be available.
