Abstract

The author defines community psychiatry as the theory and practice of psychiatry as it applies to the principle of districting—the saturation of a given area with preventive and therapeutic medical services for all the families in the area. He feels that psychoanalysis has played a key role in the birth of the community psychiatry era and has a continuing major role in bringing this era to its finest fruition.
