Over the last 50 years, many state mental hospitals have been disbanded, relegating psychiatric patients to city streets and prisons in the absence of a strong community mental health system. The revolving-door hospitalization of acute cases relies too much on medication, too little on follow-up and family involvement, argues Kelly, a former mental health commissioner in Virginia. He puts forth a sensible plan to rebuild U.S. mental health service, envisioning programs "driven by well-informed consumers demanding innovative, effective, evidence-based practices." Outcome measures, competition, and parity coverage for mental health and consumer involvement are key factors.A Verdict Case histories and administrative vignettes enliven a businesslike presentation. This concise, authoritative, and readable book is a policy manual to admire and emulate.-E. James Lieberman, George Washington Univ. Sch. of Medicine, Washington, DC
