This research, published in 2006 was carried out by Jane Hubert and Sheila Hollins.

They looked at the effect of institutionalisation on men with severe learning disabilities and challenging behaviour in long-stay hospital care. They found that the men’s lives were emotionally, socially and physically deprived. Their individual, gender and social identities were not recognised, and their general health and mental healthcare needs were inadequately addressed.
