This dissertation compares the development of community-based care for the severe mentally ill in Sweden and the United States in the years between 1960 and 1995. The dissertation approaches this cross-national comparison from the perspective of Esping-Andersen's The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism (1990).

520 $a This dissertation compares the development of community-based care for the severe mentally ill in Sweden and the United States in the years between 1960 and 1995. The dissertation approaches this cross-national comparison from the perspective of Esping-Andersen's The Three Worlds of Welfare Capitalism (1990).
520 $a Only one prior study, Goodwin's Comparative Mental Health Policy (1997), has sought to apply Esping-Andersen's welfare state typology to the mental health sector. Goodwin argued that during deinsitutionalization there was a widespread cross-national pattern of neglect in the development of community-based care for the severe mentally ill, but that the nature and extent of the neglect varied from country to country in correspondence with Esping-Andersen's three welfare state types.
520 $a This dissertation shows that the element in Goodwin's argument concerned with variation according to welfare state type was incorrect. It finds that in Sweden and the United States there existed a parallel sequence of neglect and corrective legislation that deviates from Esping-Andersen's typology in two major ways. There was far more neglect in Sweden than the typology would predict, and far more corrective legislation in the United States, as well.
520 $a To explain these deviations the dissertation introduces a conceptual distinction between sector-transcendent and sector-specific causes of welfare state development. It argues that the deviations it describes were caused by the sector-specific historical legacy in mental health of the custodial asylum.
520 $a All advanced industrial democracies, regardless of welfare state type, shared this historical legacy in common. In all these nations asylums were operated by government, rather than the free market; and by government at a relatively high level of jurisdiction, a fact which defined the severe mentally ill as not a local government concern.
520 $a During deinstitutionalization, this legacy left unwillingness and unreadiness to assume responsibility for the severe mentally ill by local government, even in Sweden. At the same time, it gave state government a strong incentive to enact legislation to correct local government neglect, even in the United States.
520 $a The dissertation concludes that efforts to apply Esping-Andersen's typology to an individual sector of welfare state activity must recognize that sector-specific causal factors play an important role.
