Abstract

If deinstitutionalisation has not fundamentally changed the values underpinning segregation, do we have a model now that is sufficiently robust not to lead to future disillusionment? This chapter explores the contradictory aims of different ‘anti-stigma’ approaches and looks in detail at one of those most in favour, the brain disease model.
