Abstract

Stroul {1986) wrote that in the 1950s and 1960s two events occurred that have changed the way people with chronic mental illness live today. The first event was the development of new medications which could control many of the symptoms of the illnesses, thus leading the way to the release of the majority of inpatients from hospitals and institutions into the communities. The second major event, as mentioned by Stroul, was the concurrent development of the community health movement. From this movement a number of programs have grown, including the Community Support Program (CSP), which was initiated by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in 1977 (Baker, Jedrey, Intagliato, & Straus, 1993; Husted, Wentler, & Bursell, 1994).
