“…Moving out may represent a positive or a negative change for the individuals or for their relatives. Patient studies like that just completed by our-Research Unit on the 1979 cohort of schizophrenic patients are needed to evaluate the circumstances of movement on the quality of life, symptoms and social disability of patients who migrate (Mignolli et al 1989). Moreover, the effect of the delivery and the quality of psychiatric services may be small compared with other factors mentioned above.…”

This preliminary study attempts to evaluate the effect of a community psychiatric service on residential mobility by comparing a cohort of schizophrenic patients over a 5-year period with that of non-psychotic and general population control groups in South Verona, a case register area in Northern Italy. No significant differences were found between the groups for different types of movement (within South Verona/outside catchment area of South Verona/outside City of Verona), except for movements within South Verona between the schizophrenic group and neurotic group. The former tended to move less than the latter. The sociodemographic factors associated with movements of the general population in Verona were being male and single, whereas place of birth was less important. The results showed that in the two patient groups as well as in the general population in South Verona, the percentages of those who moved outside the case-register area ranged between 1.5%-4.4% over a one-year period, and between 7.3%-13.8% over a five-year period, indicating a relatively consistent denominator for the Case Register.

“…Questi studi inizialmente miravano alia valutazione di gruppi di pazienti a diagnosi definita, in particolare dei pazienti schizofrenici, dei quali sono, ad esempio, state studiate le caratteristiche psicopatologiche e la disabilita sociale in relazione all'assistenza ricevuta nei primi 7 anni di applicazione della riforma psichiatrica (Faccincani et al, 1990;Mignolli et al, 1991). E stato cosi dimostrato che, rispettivamente, il 46% ed il 24% dei pazienti schizofrenici dell'area di Verona-Sud che vivevano nella comunita erano migliorati nella sintomatologia clinica e nella performance sociale; 1'11% ed il 19% erano peggiorati; le condizioni degli altri erano rimaste immodificate.…”

Mental health services are organized and financed in very different ways across Europe; nevertheless there are a number of common trends and issues. In this paper we deal with some of those issues which influence the quality of services to those with long-term and severe mental health problems and disabilities. The most obvious trend has been the rundown of psychiatric beds particularly in the large mental hospitals and this in its turn has given rise to the problem of providing alternative services. Throughout Europe people are striving, with mixed success, to establish new services that are community orientated, provide reasonable levels of clinical care with some continuity and coordination, and ensure that the individuals served have appropriate accommodation and day-time activities. While there are some excellent services, there are even more services throughout Europe struggling to solve common problems. We have tried to draw some lessons from their efforts.

2. Psychopathology and social performance in a cohort of patients with schizophrenic psychoses. A seven-year follow-up study

Abstract: The Italian psychiatric reform has attracted much interest and controversy around the world. While quantitative evidence on its implementation has already been provided (Tansella et al. 1987; de Girolamo, 1989), studies of the effects of the reform on patients are lacking.
