title: Moving forward with deinstitutionalization: lessons of an ethical policy analysis.
abstract: The formulation, implementation, and evaluation of public policies do not typically include formal ethical analysis. Reconceptualizing from an ethical standpoint the historical and contemporary dilemmas created by the deinstitutionalization policy underscores the need for attention to distributive justice and respect for individuals in developing programs for the chronically mentally ill and in selecting and measuring successful outcomes.
