The process of deinstitutionalisation has been gathering momentum in Britain and the United States since the mid‐1970s. A discussion of these trends provides the background to an examination of “transition shock” as it affects people relocated from mental handicap institutions. The paper explores the theoretical underpinnings of the concept of transition shock and links them to the findings of a follow‐up study of the behavioural consequences of relocation
