A Tale of Two Cities: The Exploration of the Trieste Public Psychiatry Model in San Francisco
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the âTrieste modelâ of public psychiatry is one of the most progressive in the world. It was in Trieste, Italy, in the 1970s that the radical psychiatrist, Franco Basaglia, implemented his vision of anti-institutional, democratic psychiatry. The Trieste model put the suffering personânot his or her disordersâat the center of the health care system. The model, revolutionary in its time, began with the ânegationâ and âdestructionâ of the traditional mental asylum (âmanicomioâ). A novel community mental health system replaced the mental institution. To achieve this, the Trieste model promoted the social inclusion and full citizenship of users of mental health services. Trieste has been a collaborating center of the WHO for four decades with a goal of disseminating its practices across the world. This paper illustrates a recent attempt to determine whether the Trieste model could be translated to the city of San Francisco, California. This process revealed a number of obstacles to such a translation. Our hope is that a review of Basagliaâs ideas, along with a discussion of the obstacles to their implementation, will facilitate efforts to foster the social integration of persons with mental disorders across the world
