by John Carpenter and Silvia Sbaraini
Published 1 October 1997
Can mental health services be more responsive to the needs of people with severe and long-term mental health problems? Is it possible to involve service users and their carers effectively in developing plans for their care and treatment in the community? This report describes the development of an integrated approach to care management and care programming which took seriously the aspiration to empower users and carers.
