(Mil Cor Ito, 10.73-312) As originally conceived the report wns to hhated upon Of about three pr g ams In the eight ma,lor Areas: One ouitandin, one evete,and one new or oth w1e rtru1ing. Administrati 1 Chiefs of Mental iealtb and their staffs found it impossible to participate in sucha selection end instead the titaff has been required to inform them5elvea aboutover 90 r,rogra and preaertt their tindLngabout each as objectively as possible. The chapter for each Area foliowe a standard arrengenent of info varying tn detail as the Area development indi ates. There Is first a descrip , tiOt of the geographic and cultural context within which Area programs and Service Units vork. Secondly, thera it a reporting of the historical roots of mental health activities in the Area as far back in time as it has been possible to find evidence of them. In ee In5ta.ncethis is coincidental vith the form &thin of IPS in 1955, but in most it anpeara a few years before introduction of form 1 budg tted mental health staff. The Latter sections of the report develop in chronological order (usually in tws year segments ) the personnel and activity of the Kett 1 Health programs for the Area. Unique and special programs are presented in detail. Finally, an Overview and summary of acbieve. ments and problems :yet to be resolved concludes the description othc whi h vas completed as of the spring of 2973. The concluding chanter of the report and the extensive sections on inpatient programs will le of interest to all Areas. It is also hoped that staff in one Area will find it of value to see vbat other Areas have done or are facing in the way of similar problems. and differing ones. Hovey when need arises, or interest is focused on only one Area it is hoped thst that chapter mecr be used as an indetendent unit.
