  • Title: Mental health for persons with intellectual disability in the post-deinstitutionalization era: experiences from British Columbia.
    Author: Friedlander R.
    Journal: Isr J Psychiatry Relat Sci; 2006; 43(4):275-80. PubMed ID: 17338447.
    Abstract:
    The delivery of mental health services to persons with Intellectual Disability (ID) in British Columbia (BC), Canada, is worth documenting because BC is one of the few jurisdictions in the world to completely close its institutions for people with ID. This paper documents the delivery of mental health care in BC for this population and contrasts the dream versus the reality of community living for people with dual diagnosis (mental illness coupled with an intellectual disability).
