title: The development and growth of community mental health in Brooklyn: Current issues and problems.
abstract: The Brooklyn Psychiatric Centers came into being as a result of the merger of five local community mental health clinics. The coordination of these clinics into a larger agency was planned in order to obtain the advantage of a single administrative structure and at the same time decentralize services on a community basis to meet unique neighborhood needs. The services which were developed, the training program, research, the relationship with other agencies, the education of the community itself through seminars, meetings, etc., are described. The emphasis of the Centers' activities in the evolving philosophy of community mental health is stressed.
