In addition, coverage includes case studies, lessons from wayfinding improvement initiatives, and recommendations for future research, practice, and policy. Overall, the book focuses on the economic and commercial benefits of good wayfinding, its potential impact on the health of individuals and communities, as well as strategies for the journey ahead. It will appeal to numerous professionals across many disciplines from architecture and cartography to public health and urban planning. Additionally, the book can help advance a dialogue among those interested in enhancing the livability of their communities.

More than 50 percent of mental health center caseloads involve
individuals who could be helped outside the traditional clinic
setting. This book is the first to outline procedures for expanding
local mental health programs by adding nonclinical services:
individualized tutorial or group education, social rehabilitation
and self-help group experiences, and case management services. The
authors present a convincing case for these less costly, but
equally effective, methods of treatment.
