Abstract
As treatment and rehabilitative approaches evolve, mental health administrators face an increasing number of choices in developing supportive service delivery systems for chronic patients. This paper reintroduces and elaborates upon the concept of prosthetic technology to provide administrators with a tool to aid their program selection decisions. A method is described for evaluating the prosthetic efficacy of program interventions.
