Medical Malpractice

Any good books on modern institutionalization and asylums?

I'm really curious about them. And I'm not interested in 1800's style asylums or whatever, I'd like a modern book. Non-fiction please, or if it's fiction, I'd like it to be deeply rooted in fact. Got any suggestions?

1. It's not completely current, but I found Psych Ward by Stephen somethingorother very interesting. I think it's from the 70s or so. A lot has changed since then, but not as much as the 1800s and such. Andy Behrman's memoir Electroboy makes mention of his time in-patient, but it's only a couple chapters of it. There's a book called Life Inside, but I've never read it. Mockingbird Years bored me so much I couldn't finish it, but it takes place on an in-patient ward.
