Abstract
The author discusses a study done by a group of researchers sponsored by a grant to Ralph Nader. The study focused on the community mental health centers program of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). It finds fault with the discrepancy between ideology and implementation of the program, charging that it has failed to supplant the state hospital system, has excluded the very poor and the very sick, is inaccessible to the population it purports to serve, lacks citizen involvement, and is not held accountable to NIMH. Three psychiatrists comment on the author's presentation.
