Question

The notion that many mental hospitals were primarily "warehouses for the insane" that provided little benefit to patients was a major impetus supporting deinstitutionalization. This led to the closure of many mental hospitals and the movement of patients to community-based settings. Funding for community programs (choice A) was a result of deinstitutionalization rather than a cause. The cases of Rennie v. Klein (1978) and Rogers v. Okin (1979) (choice B) addressed the rights of mentally ill individuals but were not major impetuses for deinstitutionalization. The passing of the "Guidelines on Multicultural Education, Training, Research, Practice, and Organizational Change for Psychologists" by the American Psychological Association in 2003 (choice C) is unrelated to deinstitutionalization.
