- Summary:
- Public Mental Health: A Changing System in an Era of Managed Care educates psychiatrists on the ramifications of changes in the public mental health system. It illuminates many of the potential problems that: managed care poses for the seriously mentally ill, especially access to care, financing of medication, and the limited approval of long-term treatment.
