A research team's perspective on the editorial 'Revolutionary reform in psychiatric care in Italy: the abolition of forensic mental hospitals'.

The editorial by Traverso & Traverso “Revolutionary reform in psychiatric care in Italy: The abolition of forensic mental hospitals” represents key work to raise awareness around the reform which led to the definite closure of forensic psychiatric hospitals in Italy. Given the revolutionary underpinnings and implications of Law 81/2014 and that little is known about the reform, such work is crucial, as it encourages reflection among professionals, clinicians, academics and policy makers. Cost optimisation, reducing length of stay and timely transition from secure to community-based services are shared priorities in different countries. We deem it equally essential to add empirical research to the discourse around the reform, which, as highlighted by Traverso and Traverso ‘ensures the progress made is defensible’.
