Patrick Moynihan. "Deinstitutionalization Failed." Monday, July 12, 1999 106th Congress, 1st Session, 145 Cong Rec S 8295, Vol. 145, No. 97. Deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill.
Introduction.
Deinstitutionalization is known as one of the most lopsided and unsuccessful federal decisions made specific to the rights of the mentally ill and stands as that sole reason for why social workers have so much bloody authority over the lives of the mentally ill. Utter failure and issues that continue to detriment the rights of the mentally ill today. The degree to which this program allowed social workers to interfere in the lives of the mentally ill is unacceptable to the nth degree. Period.
Discussion.
1) The vast majority of public mental health professionals assume that the federal response to overcrowded and gravely mismanaged state managed mental health care facilities was a great idea across the board. In the first half of the 20th century the population of these mental institutions grew, and year after year new facilities had to be built via public funding and other such resources. The horror stories that arose specific to these facilities are well known today, and it isn't rocket science that something had to change. It must also must be noted that few if any actual American citizens affected by mental illness played a direct role in bringing this shift in policy about. And as typically happens, the people trusted government to do the right thing, and then acted in the same way the public generally acts, effectively turning a blind eye towards how well or just how poorly this process actually played out in the lives of the mentally ill.
2) To the extent that civil rights of the mentally ill ostensibly had direct bearing on why this shift in public policy occurred, this too is patently inaccurate in a variety or ways. In fact, certain rights of the mentally ill were only eroded that much more. Right to privacy, for example, with respect to any person's protected health information (PHI); and freedom of choice with due respect for the right of persons to decide who is going to play a direct role in their own respective medical care. In fact, as it has played out, mentally ill persons are required to allow people they would not necessarily want to be involved in their flow of care. These matters have their basis in informed consent, and the right of persons provide their consent in most aspects of their given flow of medical care, and a requirement of medical providers regardless of who their involved patient is.
In early summer 2015, a staff psychiatrist at the Montana State Hospital attempted to force one his patients to take a particular medication that the patient had not consented to taking. The patient had counted one too many pills in his evening medication, as provided to him by nursing staff, asked what was going on, and was therein informed that Wang had prescribed this medication without acquiring this patient's consent. The doctor's name is Colby Wang, and he was fired from that hospital a short time later, not solely because of this violation of informed consent, rather is association to a range of other like misconduct. The sole reason for why Wang felt he could act in this way had to with the fact that his patient was affected by mental illness, while it also true that Wang had never worked in a setting such as this. Today, however, Wang works in out patient medical care, and only got away with all that led to his firing simply because the hospital and department of health didn't want the public to know they had hired such a miscreant.
The founder of The Motanana Suicide Rate Reduction Council has sincere respect for legitimate science, in part through his own very real education and credentials. This respect flows for the plain fact that any legitimate scientist, including actual medical professionals, would readily admit to any failed applications in their given work out of knowing that valid scientific method relies on good faith admissions of such mistakes, while it also true that any real scientist would never get away with such a failure anytime the issues at stake arise through life or death results.
Karl Rosston is not a scientist. Period. He is a social worker. Social workers in mental health care are a direct product of deinstitutionalization, which as discussed above, is recognized as being one of the most atrocious blunders with regard to the rights and care needs of the mentally ill. The right of mentally ill patients to maintain their own privacy is crucial and grounded in civil rights, while allowing someone with no medical training to access this privacy is patent discrimination. Who is to say that mental illness is tantamount to needing a social worker in their lives? Many persons affected by serious mental illness, as a matter of plain fact, are fully capable of managing their person life affairs. To force social workers into the lives of the mentally ill in this way is a patent violation of any mentally persons civil rights. It is nothing short of discrimination that the mentally ill have been forced to deal with for time immemorial.
