Title: Unmet need in psychiatry
Description: "This book considers ways to resolve the imbalance between the demand and supply of mental health services. Treatment services in most countries reach only a minority of the people that epidemiologists identify as having a mental disorder. Few countries can provide adequate health services for all citizens who suffer from mental disorders, yet none has developed a rational system to decide who should be treated." "In this work, an international team of more than sixty psychiatrists, epidemiologists, health administrators, economists and health planners seek to answer these questions. Their contributions, and the analysis offered here, will inform and encourage all concerned with the equitable provision of mental health care."--Jacket.
