History of the Community Psychiatry Movement
Abstract
The authors trace the history of community psychiatry along six lines of development—social psychiatry, changes in hospital programs, development of clinics, evolution of the mental health professions, growth of federally supported programs, and the citizens' mental health movement. Future progress, they believe, must involve "informed activism" to change our national goals and priorities, better use of what we now know, and the development of new knowledge.
