Tentatively, I think that the policy of `Promotion of Discharge / Shift to Community' for the mentally disabled being pushed forward by the current government, results in mentally disabled persons being discharge hastily and make the mentally disabled low-wage and unstable worker. This is regarded in this paper as the basic problem. With this basic understanding of the problem, the goal of this paper is to present the three things which will be necessary for `Support for Shift to Community': (1) structure which justifies isolation of the mentally disabled, (2) problems spreading throughout the entire labor market, and (3) the meaning of sending the mentally disabled into the real labor market. To accomplish this goal, the following will be set forth: (1) Statement of the recent trend in the policy of `Promotion of Discharge / Shift to Community' (2) Explanation of the `Return to Society' policy under the Mental Hygiene Law, especially in the 1970s (3) Presentation of disputes concerning `Return to Society', especially critical opinion, from the second half of the 1970s to the first half of the 1980s (4) Confirmation of whether recent disputes over the policy of `Promotion of Discharge / Shift to Community' are adequately based on disputes from the era of Mental Hygiene Law
