The Institution of the Mind ‐ The Final Challenge
Abstract
Deinstitutionalisation is a phenomenon with extensive practical consequences, as it leads to changes in the lives of people with a disability, their families and staff. It has also extensive theoretical consequences for disability services, as new models are needed when forming alternative services to those offered by the institution. During a deinstitutionalisation project (Ericsson, 2002) practical as well as theoretical problems were faced. One of the unexpected phenomena we met with came to be termed ‘the institution of the mind’.
