Reports on how people with mental health problems perceive the community care reforms, focusing in particular on a group of people with schizophrenia. Their experiences of housing, poverty, stigma, medication, psychiatric services in the community, and the meaning of madness are examined. The relocation of madness is explored as a process that involves the creation and negotiation of new frames of understanding, and new styles of relationship, between former mental patients and 'normal' society.
