Basaglia was also one of the principal proponents of Italy's Law 180, which effectively closed down large mental hospitals in Italy. His ideas and his disciples have had a decisive influence in the move away from institutional care in many parts of the world, particularly in continental Europe and South America. However, Basaglia is strikingly absent from the literature in Germanic and Anglophone psychiatry. Most of the literature about Basaglia in the last 40 years has been published by his followers and supporters and has often been largely positive, with little exploration of differing responses or possible limitations of his model. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eBasaglia's International Legacy: From Asylum to Community\u003c\/em\u003e provides an overview of current thinking and the international influence of Franco Basaglia. This resource draws on the combined knowledge of clinicians, policy makers, historians, and social scientists, including a handful of Basaglia's collaborators. It provides an in-depth understanding and critical analysis of the various applications of his thinking worldwide. Organised into three broad sections, chapters examine Basaglia's work and influence in Italy; in the 'Basaglian' countries of Europe and South America; and in those countries where his influence has either been rejected or significantly modified. The Editors bring together the contributions and draw out the important messages (both positive and negative) for current clinical practice and development within international mental health services.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom Burns, \u003cem\u003eProfessor Emeritus of Social Psychiatry, University of Oxford, Oxford, United Kingdom\u003c\/em\u003e, John Foot, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Modern Italian History, University of Bristol, Bristol, United Kingdom\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTom Burns is Professor Emeritus of Social Psychiatry at the University of Oxford and Honorary Professor of Psychiatry at University College London.
