内容説明

In recent years, primary health care has been gaining in significance as a setting for both research on mental illness in the general population and for the development of new preventive approaches in this field. The growing need for research has received impetus from the escalating costs of hospital-based health care, the re-structuring of health services in a number of countries, with an increased emphasis on community care and prevention, and the World Health Organizations "Health for All" campaign, in response to which a growing number of national planning documents have been published. These developments have already stimulated a new interest in the scope for epidemiological and evaluative investigations based on general medical practice. This book consists of selected contributions to the first international scientific meeting on this topic, held in Toronto in 1989 and deals with the growth and development of a new research field. This book should be of interest to psychiatrists, psychologists, general practitioners and all health care professionals.
