The client group referred to as the long-term mentally ill, the persistently severely mentally distressed, the chronically psychotic, or people with long-term mental health problems, have generally received a poor deal from the traditional psychiatric services. Help has largely rested on custodial and medical treatments.;With the growing emphasis on community care, it is now time to develop services in the community which are both beneficial and acceptable to the people who receive them.
