What is Mental Health and Social Policy: The Emergence of Managed Care about?

<p><p><b></b> Just A Few Years Ago There Was Much Optimism That The American Health Care System Would Be Reformed And That We Would Have A System Of Universal Insurance Entitlement With Few People Uninsured. The Realization That Full Mental Health Benefits Would Only Be Financially Acceptable Within A Managed Care Framework Suggests The Importance Of Managed Care As An Instrument For Achieving Broader Coverage At An Acceptable Cost.

It Also Includes The Definitions Of Disability And The Links To Federal Programs And Housing And Employment Services That Will Be Of Special Interest To Social Workers. <b></b> Mental Health Care Providers, Social Worker
