Extract

The aim of this chapter is to present data on psychiatric care provided to adult South-Verona residents over the 10-year period (1979–88) following the psychiatric reform and the implementation of a new community-based service. These data have been collected using the South-Verona Psychiatric Case Register (PCR), which started operating immediately after the establishment of the new service.
