Abstract
1. Deinstitutionalization was initiated in an era of social reform to protect the rights of the mentally ill; however, a strong research base was absent and led to major flaws in the policy's implementation. 2. The chronically mentally ill are frequently poor advocates for themselves and, without even the most simple needs fulfilled, end up homeless. 3. The homeless mentally ill require comprehensive support systems with assured continuity of care. An emerging concept to deal with this issue is that of case management. 4. The mental health professional can strive to influence future public policy as patient advocate and nonpartisan educator.
