Abstract
Much of the interest in community care has stemmed from a feminist concern with the burdens placed on women as carers and, more recently, the needs of women who are cared for as well as those carrying out caring work. Less has been written on the extent to which community care policy meets the different needs of men and women. This article draws on qualitative interview material to explore issues surrounding community psychiatric care for younger people, against a backdrop of increasing over-representation of men in hospital admissions, and asks how far community psychiatric care fails young men more than young women.
