Abstract

The state mental health director today is in a position to integrate the mental health services demanded by society. There have been few attempts in the past to provide this position with the uniformity, standards, and security warranted by its potential value. Organized and private psychiatric groups need to support state mental health directors in order to ensure the influence of psychiatry in planning and achieving more adequate delivery of mental health services.
