Abstract
Advances in the diagnosis of recurrent affective disorders and consistently high levels of lithium prophylaxis have made it possible to treat manic-depressive disorders on an outpatient basis. The author describes the experiences and organization of a lithium clinic that has operated for 15 years.

The author suggests that centers using this model could serve the community by increasing the availability of specialized psychiatric care.
