'This book goes beyond deinstitutionalization of psychiatric patients to describe a systematic approach at the hospital, community, and individual level for better addressing the needs of persons with different levels of illness. … Clear lists, charts, and graphs make this book quite practical.' Patricia E. Murphy, Rush University Medical Centre
