EXCERPT
The increasing popularity and acceptance of managed mental health care has intensified people’s concern about the rationing of mental health services. The obvious worry is that the definition of what services will be available in a managed care benefit package will be minimal in extensiveness and intensiveness. Bennett (1992) believes that “…such parsimony contrasts with a model common in fee-for-service practice: comprehensive, state-of-the-art care for each patient” (pp.203-204). Fink and Dubin (1991) point out that “…the fiscal reality is that hospitals and physicians affiliated with HMOs can break even or generate income only by providing less care….The clinical reality, however, is that HMO patients usually receive a level of care that is not the standard for the community.”

INTRODUCTION
Did you ever wonder why some programs seem to work better than others? Why these settings seem so "user friendly"? Why these programs have better outcomes? I have. And I think I'm learning some more answers.
Anthony, W. A. (1993). Recovery from mental illness: The guiding vision of the mental health service system in the 1990s. Psychosocial Rehabilitation Journal, 16(4), 11-23.
The implementation of deinstitutionalization in the 1960s and 1970s, and the increasing ascendance of the community support system concept and the practice of psychiatric rehabilitation in the 1980s, have laid the foundation for a new 1990s vision of service delivery for people who have mental illness. Recovery from mental illness is the vision that will guide the mental health system in this decade. This article outlines the fundamental services and assumptions of a recovery-oriented mental health system. As the recovery concept becomes better understood, it could have major implications for how future mental health systems are designed.
