FRAGMENTO
Until relatively recently it seemed clear what the answer about the priorities for mental health programmes should be. Often quoted they include the formulation of explicit government policies about mental health, the enactment or modernization of mental health laws, the development of community mental health, the provision of care to the mentally ill by general health care workers and the treatment of the severely mentally ill in their homes. The choice of these priorities was rational and followed the principles of overall development in which the maximal utilization of available resources had been given a place of pride.
