Community Mental Health in Canada: Theory, Policy, and Practice

In Canada, at least 5 percent of the population suffers from a serious,
persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.
While recent years have seen many changes and improvements in the way
we respond to the needs of mentally ill persons, there remain divisions
of opinion among stakeholder groups about the way mental health
services are delivered. Community Mental Health in Canada
offers a timely, critical overview of the provision of public mental
health services in Canada, looking at where we have come from, the
current situation, and where we may be heading.
