The road leading to the demise of state responsibility for the seriously mentally ill and the current crisis of abandonment was paved with all the best intentions. Tragically, policies underlying the pattern of abandonment are based on erroneous interpretations of what patients need and what our current techniques can produce to help them. An index of declining hospital census must not be mistaken for the goal of care.
导致国家对重症精神病患者责任消亡以及当前遗弃危机的道路，是由所有最美好的意图铺就的。可悲的是，遗弃模式背后的政策基于对患者需求以及我们当前能够帮助他们的技术的错误解读。医院普查人数下降的指标绝不能被误认为是护理的目标。
