Abstract

The successful incorporation of the private practice of psychiatry into a system of community mental health care was attributable to several factors. They included an affluent catchment area; support from hospital administration and staff, private mental health practitioners, and a state-county finance program; and attempts to eliminate schisms that have traditionally separated private and public sectors of psychiatry. The success of this program has implications for the development of mental health services in the 1970s.
