  • Deinstitutionalisation as a machine [Elektronski vir] = Dezinstitucionalizacija kot stroj
    Flaker, Vito
    There are many reasons for deinstitutionalisation: total institutions dehumanise the living conditions of their inmates, severely breach their basichuman rights, make people unwell and seem deviant ... and disable the professionals from helping people. Total institutions are not only ideal typesthey are abstract machines with material effects. Their main functions are to contain and control people; and to produce an excess of counterproductive professional power. Deinstitutionalisation, in order to succeed must function like an abstract machine too - polemic against the elements of total institution in the practice of community services, and programmatic in escaping from the patterns of subordination and control. It isa machine of opening, enabling movement, it has to provide escape and resettlement to the people with the most severe distress in order to avoid "skimming and parking", be an alternative to institutions and have a zero tolerance for any restraint. It must cease to be a separate, special social body, not only include people in the community but connect with the most social parts of it. The role of the professionals must change from guardians to advocates, the knowledge used from axiomatic deductive to inductive and experimental. It must seek the ways to cherish the uniqueness of each person but fight against isolation and create new kinds of collectivities.
