title: Developments in managing mental health care: a review of the literature.
abstract: The aim of this paper is to critically review the different approaches used to manage mental health care. Underpinning this aim is a literature review carried out using systematic approaches that clarifies how various frameworks are used and experienced. Responding consciously to policy, politics, and economic change there are a number of approaches that coexist without an explicit view as to whether they are useful tools kit or a phenomena that are, in-fact, less positive. Nevertheless experience to date suggests that clear lessons can be learned before practices become more widely adopted across health communities.
