In recent years doubt has been cast upon the effectiveness of community mental health programs. The author reviews one program, that of the Yorkton Psychiatric Centre in Saskatchewan, that seems to have succeeded. He pays particular attention to problem areas of the service and makes suggestions about what factors might control the success or failure of such programs.
