title: [Models of therapy for the mentally handicapped].
abstract: This paper attempts to bring into focus the variety and implications of health care models relating to service delivery for mentally handicapped people. Five separate models are identified, each of which is found to share some common elements and features, although ultimately rooted in dissimilar conceptual and ideological frameworks. A comparison between these models is suggested, together with a brief analysis of their effects, strengths and possible weaknesses. Assumptions which underlie each of the models are presented as a means of examining the quantity and quality of health care afforded within the treatment approaches.
