Description
This text aims to throw new light on the current debate around the perceived "failure" of community care. The debate is being carried out not only among therapists, planners and providers, but also amongst consumers of that care and the general public. The author argues that as community care is not working, there is an alternative, more natural neighbourhood model to explore.
