Reviews

They provide compelling evidence that the condition of many, if not most, persons with mental illness has improved during that period. JAMA Will be of greatest interest to students of mental health economics, services, and policy, but clinicians interested in the relationship between health policy and everyday practice will also find it useful. -- Burton V. Reifler International Psychogeriatrics Provides a necessary counterpart to much overenthusiastic optimism surrounding recent development in psychopharmacology and the neurosciences. -- Bonnie Evans Journal of Mental Health Offers a fascinating... historical analysis of mental health policy. -- Ellen Dwyer History of Psychiatry Should be assigned to every practitioner, mental health clinician, administrator, and advocate - as well as every legislator and policy maker-concerned with the status of Americans with serious mental illness. -- William Fisher Psychiatric Services If one... has time to read one book on mental health policy this year, this should be the one. -- Roger Meyer Health Affairs A comprehensive assessment of changes in the life conditions and well-being of persons with serious mental illnesses over the past five decades. -- Janet R.
