Primary mental health care: indications and obstacles
Curationis.
1992 Jun.
Abstract
This paper considers indications and obstacles for the development of primary mental health care practice in both developed and under-developed countries. Both are considered as this represents the South African reality. While a significant body of literature has documented the need for primary mental health care, the obstacles (especially in terms of the co-modification of health) to its fruition are seldom addressed.
