  • Summary

    Midcentury French policy-makers seemed less committed to expanding public mental health care than their US counterparts, but the psychiatric “sectorization” policy nonetheless took off and ultimately increased the supply of services by the end of the 20th century.

The presence of a public labor–management coalition in mental health care facilitated three positive supply-side policy feedback cycles, producing the distinctive “French way” of deinstitutionalizing the mentally ill.
