Abstract
The essential purposes of the basic programme for psychiatric care drawn up by the Swedish Medical Association are as follows. In principle, a necessary condition for the courses which should be chosen when carrying out these measures is a coordinated mental health service, divided into the care of acute and chronic cases and including rehabilitation and treatment of the disabled, in the same way as has been found rational in somatic medical care, with the modifications made necessary by reason of the special nature of the psychiatric discipline. Finally, the basic programme confirms that a speedy modernization of the mental health services in Sweden, in order to render them more effective, is an urgent necessity and must be commenced immediately. The work of carrying out this programme must, however, be distributed over a number of years.
