Abstract

An attempt to decentralize and sectorize the psychiatric out-patient service in a rural area in northern Sweden is described and the theoretical background is discussed. A psychiatrist and a specially trained nurse visit the district health centers in the area once every other week to see some patients and to have a conference with the district doctors, district nurses and social workers. The experiences are so far encouraging and the experiment will continue.
