One Thinking historically about integration
-
David Gladstone
Abstract
This chapter talks about community care and integration, and shows that ‘community care’ did not start in 1963. It states that recent historical research has started questioning the pervasiveness of institutional segregation in earlier periods. It reveals that the mechanisms of control could exist outside institutions, and concludes that integration can be viewed as one of the most important continuities that connects contemporary issues and debates about the locus of care.
