Magnus
Stenbock Hotel: "The Magnus Stenbock Hotel is a consumer-run
program located in Helsingborg, Sweden. Mr. Maths Jesperson,
a highly respected consumer advocate in Europe, and a founding
member of the hotel, believes that sheltered living accommodations
should be neither for rehabilitation nor a part of conventional
psychiatric services. Rather, sheltered living should provide
a safe environment that a person can consider home. Jesperson
believes that an individual living in a sheltered environment
may require personal support from time to time, but prefers
that such support be a more flexible form of rehabilitation
and treatment" · Publications: Web site www.mentalhealth.org/publications/allpubs/KEN-01-0108/hotel.asp,
articles in books (for example in "Flucht
in die Wirklichkeit - Das Berliner Weglaufhaus") ·
