The impact of managed mental health care on women.
By 1995, 108 million Americans were enrolled in managed care mental health programs. Managed care is likely to have a differential impact on women, as indicated by epidemiologic patterns, psychodynamic theory, and data from outcome and cost studies. The challenge of providing compassionate, confidential, and effective care within a budget can be solved by a combination of new treatment methods, better focused managed care interventions, and legislation.
