Extract

‘That over-used word community’ (Acheson, 1985, p. 3) has tended to degenerate into a slogan, losing its meaning and becoming a generic expression to label different, not homogeneous functions and institutions. The numerous definitions of community psychiatric services and community care as well as their implications have been discussed elsewhere (Tansella, 1986).
