Towards Community Care in the Mental Health Services?
نویسنده
چکیده
I HOPE the meeting will forgive me if I deal entirely with local authority services for the mentally ill. It seems that whereas in meeting the needs of mental defectives the local authorities have considerable experience and themselves know where they wish to go, local authority work for the mentally ill, though more advanced in some areas than in others, is in a state of creative chaos, with many fruitful ideas not yet crystallised; and that this is a very good moment in which to ask ourselves where we are going. It appears that we are travelling towards the provision of Community Care.
