Home sweet harm: Confinement and tranquilidad in post‐asylum Peru

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how Peru's Community Mental Health (CMH) model contributes to the exclusion and home confinement of mentally ill individuals. Based on the experience of a woman diagnosed with schizophrenia and her mother, I show how CMH's emphasis on community‐based care often fails in practice, as neighbors respond to people with mental
