Community mental health myths and the fate of former hospitalized patients

S A Kirk et al. Psychiatry. 1975 Aug.

Abstract

This paper addresses one of these important emerging problems--the fate of former hospitalized patients--and the policy issues that the problem raises. The discussion is derived from observations of the experience of the mental health system in the State of Hawaii, but the issues raised are of relevance to other states as well.
