520    Humans are social animals and, in general, don't thrive in
       isolated environments. Homeless people, many of whom 
       suffer from serious mental illnesses, often live socially 
       isolated on the streets or in shelters. Homelessness, 
       Housing, and Mental Illness describes a carefully designed
       large-scale study to assess how well these people do when 
       attempts are made to reduce their social isolation and 
       integrate them into the community. -- 
520    Should homeless mentally ill people be provided with the 
       type of housing they want or with what clinicians think 
       they need? Is a residential staff necessary? Are roommates
       advantageous? How is community integration affected by 
       substance abuse, psychiatric diagnoses, and cognitive 
       functioning? Homelessness, Housing, and Mental Illness 
       answers these questions and reexamines the assumptions 
       behind housing policies that support the preference of 
       most homeless mentally ill people to live alone in 
       independent apartments. The analysis shows that living 
       alone reduces housing retention as well as cognitive 
       functioning, while group homes improve these critical 
       outcomes. Throughout the book, Russell Schutt explores the
       meaning and value of community for our most fragile 
       citizens. --Book Jacket.
