520 1 $a"The Insanity Offense describes in detail one of the great social disasters in recent American history. Over the past five decades, hundreds of thousands of patients with severe psychiatric disorders have been discharged from public mental hospitals. At the same time, changes in state commitment laws have made it impossible to treat nearly half of the discharged patients after they have left the hospital." "Here E. Fuller Torrey, the author of definitive guides to schizophrenia and manic depression, chronicles a disastrous swing in the balance of civil rights that has resulted in numerous violent episodes and left a vulnerable population of mentally ill people homeless and victimized. Interweaving in-depth accounts of three landmark cases in California, Wisconsin, and North Carolina with a history of legislation and changes in the mental health care system, Torrey gives shape to the magnitude of our failure."--BOOK JACKET.
