The implementation of the 1978 psychiatric reform in Campania, the most populated region of Southern Italy, is surveyed, by referring to currently available empirical data. Emphasis is laid on the incomplete development of psychiatric wards within general hospitals and of mental health services, on the lack of residential structures, on the failure to implement comprehensive departments for mental health care, on the increase in the number of admissions to private clinics and on the fact that more than three thousand patients are still in mental hospitals. Moreover, some characteristics of the new services clearly betraying the spirit of the law are pointed out
