title: Fee scales in mental health clinics.
abstract: The range of fees which families of identical income might be required to pay at different mental health clinics is deplorably wide. Data have been collected regarding fee scales at a small but representative group of clinics which offer psychiatric service to children. Implicit is a plea for the establishment of some central committee which would furnish a nationwide recommendation as to simple and relatively uniform sliding fee scales for nonprofit mental health clinics irrespective of their location or of the socioeconomic characteristics of their communities.
