Summary:

This book is a "second generation" book on managed mental health care. It probes areas of uncertainty and tension in the managed care world. The editor selected topics that could be debated yet could also be addressed with authority. The spirited discussion that ensues captures conflict inherent in the managed care movement. The contributors are noted authorities who were proposed questions and answered them based on their experience, beliefs, and grasp of the literature.
