Suicide, psychiatric reform, and the provision of psychiatric services in Italy
No full textStudied the effect of the 1978 psychiatric reform in Italy on suicide by comparing the suicide trend during the prereform quinquennium (1973-1977) with that of the postreform quinquennium (1979-1983). Using regional data, results show that the suicide rate in Italy as a whole had increased consistently over the past 10-15 yrs and that the increase was largely confined to the north-central parts of the country. No clear time trend emerged with respect to the proportion of suicides classified as being due to mental illness. The difference between the 2 5-yr trends (1973-1977 and 1979-1983) was positive (i.e., an increase in the suicide rate) for 10 of the 19 regions in Italy and correlated negatively with the provision of general hospital psychiatric beds. The postreform regional provision of mental hospital beds was not related to changes in the suicide rate. (PsycLIT Database Copyright 1987 American Psychological Assn, all rights reserved

No full textUrban-rural differences in the associations between social deprivation and psychiatric service utilization in schizophrenia and all diagnoses: A case-register study in Northern Italy
No full textUsed service utilization measures from the psychiatric case registers for an urban and a rural city in Northern Italy to identify associations with socio-demographic variables from the 1981 census in schizophrenia (SCZ) and related disorders as well as in all diagnoses. The patterns of service use were similar, except that the rural city had significantly more community contacts and had about twice the treated incidence and prevalence of SCZ. Findings reinforce previous proposals that social isolation was a mediator between socio-demographic characteristics and psychiatric morbidity (e.g., E. Hare, 1956).
