Anthony, W.A., Cohen, M., et al. (1990). Understanding the current facts and principles of mental health systems planning. American Psychologist, 45(11), 1249-1252.
The state mental health services planning encouraged by Pub.L. 99-660, TitleV, will be a very different process from the services planning of previous decades. The services planning stimulated by this new legislation will be influenced by a philosophy and set of values that contrast markedly with past services planning. In this article, service planning principles are articulated that can guide the planning of a comprehensive community-based service system. Yet, no matter how well crafted the plan; its worth is based on what it does for the people being served. New technology exits to change the program structures and staff competencies in ways that will lead to better client outcomes. The challenge of successfully implementing these new service plans will only be met when mental health authorities directly support the use of the new technologies.
