Community Psychiatry and Social Action—A Survey
Abstract
In working to promote the general well-being and optimal mental health of the community, the psychiatrist faces such issues as the meaning of "health," the ways in which it can best be achieved, and the clarification of his own position in relation to the sociocultural system in which he works. In his discussion of these issues, the author draws upon his experience as a program- and consultee-centered psychiatric consultant to several government departments in the Netherlands.
