Reviews
'This book goes beyond deinstitutionalization of psychiatric patients to describe a systematic approach at the hospital, community, and individual level for better addressing the needs of persons with different levels of illness. ... Clear lists, charts, and graphs make this book quite practical.' Patricia E. Murphy, Rush University Medical Centre
'My first thought on picking up this attractively packaged book was a curious one: what is this book going to tell me? ... What in the end did impress me most was that, without enormous detail, it touched on most aspects of mental health care from the level of the individual clinician and patient to the level of the nation and supra-national organizations.' Psychological Medicine
'... a highly relevant topic ... This is an important book and is recommended reading for anyone wishing to gain a good understanding of the overriding areas that need to be considered for the future planning of mental health care.' Perspectives in Public Health
