Abstract
Mental health professionals have earnestly sought to bring services into the community arena. Although the community mental health movement has had a profound impact on service delivery, neither providers nor consumers have been satisfied with developments during the past decade. Services tend to be delivered in a fragmented manner. They are often offered in an inefocient, duplicative, and bureaucratically confusing fashion. There is a distinct lack of accountability in the various delivery systems. There is failure to minister to prolonged needs or even to provide comprehensive analysis of clients’ problems.
