The Role of the Halfway House in Community Mental Health Programs in the United Kingdom and America
Abstract
The author discusses various approaches to halfway house operations, including the emergence of a philosophy arising from an experimental project in England and the subsequent establishment of a halfway house organization. She reviews problems encountered in setting up adequate halfway house facilities and government attitudes in the U. K. and the U. S. and makes suggestions for initiating a flexible yet consistent halfway house program.
