In the past few years, there has been a major shift in the mental
health care of child and adolescents from inpatient care to
non-hospital community ambulatory settings. Economic pressures have
primarily driven this change in service delivery. Insurance
companies and managed care organizations have not only restricted
access to hospitalization and limited length of stays but
additionally have sharply reduced reimbursements for treatments.
State and federal policies for inpatient treatment and
reimbursement have followed similar trends. As a result, mental
health planners have attempted to develop programs to deal with
this trend of restricted inpatient care shifting treatment of
children and adolescents to home and community settings. Some of
these new programs are well planned and others are hastily planned
and implemented. The pitfall to this community approach is that
there is a population of chronically disturbed children and
adolescents, and highly stressed parents often lacking adequate
personal and family resource who may not respond to these new less
restrictive, less costly community approaches which potentially may
lead to an unsafe and dangerous situation for the child,
adolescent, family and the community. With this in mind, the
purpose of this book is to provide comprehensive and up-to-date
information regarding child and adolescent outpatient, day
treatment and community psychiatry. The emphasis of this book is to
provide practical knowledge through clinical case illustrations and
to explain various strategies in a detailed fashion.
