A new look at the supposed risks of early institutional rearing

The main focus is on the assessment of the effects of early institutional care and compares three longitudinal studies from Romania, Greece and Hong Kong/China. The findings have been strikingly contrasting. The review asks if the risks are dependent on whether or not the institutional rearing is accompanied by gross pervasive deprivation (as it was in Romania) and investigates the methodological issues to explore the causal influence of the outcomes. Evidence is considered on changing institutional practices and the benefits of doing so. Comparison is made between institutions with major deprivation and those without global deprivation. A small number of studies are discussed that look at direct comparisons between institutional and community care. The empirical and conceptual implications of the findings are discussed.

The Moment

Sri Lanka is a developing country situated in the Indian ocean with a population of about 18.5 million. Its education and health care services are free in the state sector. Psychiatric services are mainly confined to the units in the general hospitals and two large mental hospitals situated in Angoda and Mulleriyawa (suburbs of Colombo) at the moment. However the institutional care is gradually changing and many professionals are aware of the importance of community care. There are a few reasonably organised community centres available at present.

Community care has lost its innocence. Critics and evangelists vie for television space and newspaper headlines. The Chief Medical Officer had to beg for clarification of a term that had developed too many meanings and an “ethos of virtue” (Acheson, 1985). How should it be defined? Can a hospital be part of the community? Does it mean care ‘in’ ‘by’ the community? The Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS) definition seems to be “the provision of alternatives to long-term institutional care for the chronically sick or those suffering from long-term handicaps or disabilities” (Hunt, 1985). Lord Trefgarne (1984) put the policy aim, more simply, as “to move out of hospital those people who do not really need to be there”.
