The History and Politics of Community Mental Health

"I recommend this book to all mental health professionals and students in this field; it provides the reader with a historical perspective that can add meaning, and perhaps even reassurance, to those who continue to care for the mentally ill in these uncertain times." --Hospital and Community Psychiatry. "Well worth reading, and graduate students, scientists, and professionals who are involved even obliquely with the field of mental health should add thisone to their library." --Contemporary Psychiatry
