Intended as a survival manual for administrators, planners, clinicians and consumers, this book begins with an overview of the history, concepts, ideology and ethics of public sector managed care and then proceeds in focus from system to programme management to clinical programme levels. With a concluding section on advocacy, evaluation, research and training issues, "Managed Mental Health Care in the Public Sector" examines how public sector managed mental health care can be approached with a positive spirit, an excitement about the potential to create dramatic and beneficial system changes, and a genuine interest in investigating the relative merits of every aspect of managed care systems.
