Abstract

The authors describe one model for setting up a good relationship between an academic department of psychiatry and a community mental health program. The "marriage model" emphasizes total integration. It has proved to be effective in providing a large volume of clinical service, a fruitful context for numerous education and training programs, and many opportunities for research.
