Article looks OK, probably could use some flow improvements. Also:
Thoughts? Chupper 19:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
The article doesn't look OK to me. Perhaps we should say something about de-institutionalization in general, not just how the principle has been applied to the dissolution of lunatic asylums. See for example, Ivan Illich. Chupper, you have an interesting comment. If you can cite your sources, please add to the article. I think so-called de-institutionalization was doomed to failure, as it has confused buildings with institutions. The policy was built on a category mistake. -- Publunch 01:37, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
ALIMAN SEARS SAYS: There's one inaccuracy: The population involved in deinstitutionalization was primarly the mentally ill (SPMI) and only secondarily the developmentally disabled. Thus I amended the article to include the MI aspect. Also, Chupper, pls. realize it's too much of simplification to say de-inst. moved folks from state hospitals to prisons. Also, stats clearly show that members of the mentally ill population are more often VICTIMS of crime rather than PERPETRATORS. The "medical model" is moving out, and the "recovery model" is moving in. See my blog: http://recovery-model-aliman.blogspot.com/2008/01/what-is-recovery-model.html.

"... while others with extreme personality disorders, such as paranoid schizophrenia may be aggressive to family, neighbors and strangers."
Paranoid schizophrenia is not a personality disorder. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.82.17.228 ( talk) 00:17, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
I came to this article doing some research for my personal journal. I have a relative in one of the few remaining "institutions." The article needs some work. First, nobody correctly defines institutionalization, or finds the first uses of the term, next key motivations and interested parties are not addressed. There is no mention of "warehousing" or mention of psychiatric successes that led people to concentrate mentally retarded and mentally ill into locations where they could access care and be protected, as opposed to being victimized, homeless, or in prison. There is little mention of the abuses of the system and no mention of the political will it took to stop this process. Though I don't remember specifics, I do remmember that several presidential candidates and presidents have spoke to this issue in stirring terms, regarding the need to change the well-intentioned but misguided trend toward institutionalization and medicalization. This should be a great, informative article. Flkevin ( talk) 07:03, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
I agree wholeheartedly, and I'd like the article to mention the detailed role that the family plays in stabilization of the patients involved, and I have some organizational changes I'd like to propose using sources obtained through University Libraries.

This article switches from US to UK spelling all throughout it. The title is deinstitutionalisation, the lead says deinstitutionalization. MOS:ENGVAR
I can go through the article changing it, but which should I use, US or UK? Without responses I will default to the article title (UK) in a few weeks. -- Matthew Thompson talk to me bro! 10:42, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
I actually happen to like Thomas Szasz, but I don't think the paragraph with his criticism belongs in the intro of the article. It would be more appropriate integrated into the United States section. -- Galaxiaad ( talk) 04:39, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Perhaps there are too many levels of headings here? Could "worldwide" be eliminated or "United States" be hived off into a new article or section. Currently we have: Worldwide -> North America -> United States - > Subsections. The South America section is lost at the end of the article - by the time you reach it you've forgotten you were reading a list of continents. I'm not sure what the rules or etiquette are here so I'm not making any changes beyond reducing the size of one of the headings which was out of line with the others.

The first paragraph that was added to the Consequences section (first appearing in this revision https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Deinstitutionalisation&oldid=857707859) seems to express opinions and to lack neutrality in places. I think it could and should be revised to fix that problem. I don't know if anyone is watching this page, but I will check back and perhaps offer a revision to fix this problem if no one else does, unless there are objections.

The result of the move request was: Not moved. As opponents have stated, the current title is a valid ENGVAR variation and MOS:RETAIN advises against moving in such cases. b uidh e 20:21, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

Deinstitutionalization – Z spelling is more universal: it is the only spelling used in American English and is acceptable though not predominant in British English.

With few exceptions (e.g., when a topic has strong national ties or the change reduces ambiguity), there is no valid reason for changing from one acceptable option to another.OhKayeSierra ( talk) 18:40, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
The article regarding Ireland mentions the high levels of institutionalisation in Ireland and also mentions the high levels of unmarried individuals in state facilities. Should this article mention the role of Mother and baby homes or the Magdalene laundries to explain these differences. Eamonn Cooper ( talk) 15:18, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
